just like the subject says...
In C++, unlike C, you do not need to use typedef on
structs or enums.
/////
enum example { enumA = 1, enumB = 2 }; // No typedef given
example anExample = enumA; // This still works
/////
Your problems with the boolean type you are defining
most likely stem from the fact that 'true' and 'false'
are keywords in the new C++ standard. Your compiler
almost certainly supports the new 'bool' type.
I suggest using the built in bool type.
