Re: returning crafty boolean expressions

    typedef int BOOL;	/* ?! */

That's not what I do!  I have (in ~turner/include/macros.h):

    typedef enum { FALSE, TRUE } bool;

With this bool-type, the following causes a type-clash on return value warning:

    bool yes( )
    {
	    return getchar( ) == 'y';
    }

I would have to (and am willing to) say, instead:

    bool yes( )
    {
	    if (getchar( ) == 'y')
		return TRUE;
	    else
		return FALSE;
    }

If this grosses you out, you probably wouldn't want to look at any of the
rest of my code.  I like weak languages to be strongly typed.
