Here's both in one:

------tf.c-----------------
#include <strings.h>
#define NULL 0
main( fred, joe ) char *joe[];
{   register char *sue, *ellen;
    exit( strcmp( (sue = rindex( ellen = joe[0],'/'))==NULL?
	ellen: sue+1, "true" ) != 0 );
}
-----------------------------
It returns 0 if invoked as 'true' or as [path]/true and 1 otherwise,
so it can be linked-to twice to get both. This is *not* my entry to
the obfuscated C contest - that is much worse.

Ok, ok, so it compiles to 6K - But isn't it faster? Doesn't a new shell
get created for the 'exit 0' script, so would it be faster to load a
quickie like this?
I release the above to the public domain on condition that the variable
names are not changed. :-)
