errr wait a minute. 0 equals false any other value represents truth. You seem
to be confusing this with the long standing convention used by some routines
(and the shell that 0 means ok (allowing various numbers to represent various
errors) If you use the logical not (i. e. !) a zero becomes 1 (ie true)
anything else 0. So your statement is correct if the TRUE and FALSE s are
swapped.
Clear? Try checking the code through again.
