Hello Bo - 

Why am I seeing "Bo Simonsen" - how did just the "Bo" get there? 

BS>>>> if(function(parm) == TRUE) nessersary or could I use
BS>>>> if(function(parm)) ? 

RT>>> I think a better definition would be to #define FALSE 0
RT>>> and TRUE !FALSE - in other words, nonzero. 

BS>>> Hmm.. How could the compiler handle that? 

RT>> The compiler? The preprocessor would take care of it... 

BS> Yes but FALSE isn't explicit defined. 

Not sure but I think there is some misunderstanding going on
here. 

Both you and Roy are including code within paragraphs of
English that obscures the meaning(s). 

You have "if(function(parm)) ?" in your text - the "?" happens
to have a 'meaning' within the C language that I don't think
you intended to refer to. 

Roy has "#define FALSE 0 and TRUE !FALSE" within his text and I
think Roy _meant_: 

#define FALSE 0 

#define TRUE !FALSE 

The "and" appears to be pseudo code as it is within the text
minus another "#define" statement. 

Generally it is best to keep the lines of code separate in
messages rather than included within a paragraph. It is too
easy for the meaning of a particular line of code to be
misunderstood when the end of the code line is not obvious?
