If M is an R-module, then
the dual of M is defined to be HomR(M,R). Artinian QF-3 rings R have been
characterized by the following two properties:
(1) The class of R-modules with zero duals is closed under taking submodules.
(2) The class of torsionless R-modules is closed under extension.
These properties are independent and, in the present paper, we study the two classes
of rings R which satisfy each of these conditions separately.
