It was an old compiler. I haven't used C++ in over a year, but I believe
that the addition of bool caused some problems: sizeof(bool) is not
standardized, and bool is defined as 0 is false, anything else is true,
which means a bool expression may not be equal to "true." Please forgive me
if my understanding of this isn't correct: the last C++ compiler I used
didn't have bool support built-in.
