Hello Federico,
I agree with you that this would make more sense.
Could such a change be implemented for a point release?
I assume it would introduce some bugs in existing code relying on the
(unusual) double output...

Dear all,
I had already mentioned this a while ago
(http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-exists-yields-double-tt4039853.html),
but as I guess we are in the update season, it would be good
opportunity to fix this (if there isn't strong opposition, or a good
reason for this behavior, of course).
I'm referring to the fact that the function exists() should by nature
yield a Boolean result such as T or F. However, it yields 1 or 0.
While this is not a big deal, similar functions performing a binary
decision on their arguments, such as isreal(), isvector(), isfile()
and many others, yield Boolean results.

Federico Miyara
