Just don't use anything conflicting with other prefixes: lib, z, db, im, sys. If we can agree on an implementation for archive handling that can be considered a standard implementation for FPC (i.e. distributed with the FCL), 'fp' can (and should) be used. Naming a unit with 'u'

I think the old saying goes garbage in garbage out. range checking should probablly catch this sort of stuff but that has a high performance penalty and is therefore usually disabled. At the end of the day if you force out of range data into your booleans then its your problem. -Original
