BOOL is fully featured integer, for instance, you can do.

// WEIRD BOOL (legal) programming
BOOL b;
b = 1000;
b++;

You can't do the same with a bool variable. [added] Well, I made a sanity check, and actually VC++ compiler gives just a warning on the following code

bool b;
b = 1000; // Warning here (loss of info), at runtime b becomes true.
b++; // at runtime b remains true.

[/added] As stated by someone (Rajesh ? toxcct?) this is a reminiscence of the C language gold ol days (C has not the bool keyword). Using an int to represent Yes/No pair is simply a matter of convention (and convenience). :)

Indeed. C language implicit mapping of non-zero values to true and zero value to false is more coherent.

Oh come on. You are a "C" lover. I would have expected you to know. :-D

Well, I'm a traditional-C lover: that fancy new C99 is alien to me. :laugh:
