     TRUE and FALSE are used for assignment purposes only.  It makes

When I find somebody who really, really, really wants to define TRUE
and FALSE, even somebody who uses them for assignment only, I recommend
the following defines instead:

     #define ZERO   0
     #define ONE    1

These are so much more clear than TRUE and FALSE, and if you use
them in a test, you know exactly what you're testing!
