The author obtains characterizations of the quotients, epimorphisms and extreme monomorphisms in the category of separated zero-set spaces and zero-set maps (defined by Hugh Gordon [Pacific J. Math. 36 (1971), 133–157]). The method employed, that of initiality constructions, is also used to elucidate the relationship between zero-set spaces and certain other topological structures by means of forgetful functors and their right inverses. Characterizations of pseudocompactness for zero-set spaces then follow.
