It's actually not a Microsoft invention, otherwise it probably would have ended up as TFIBLV or something ;) IIRC, bool was not added to standard C until C99 (?), so MS could hardly have used it in all of their APIs. -rabidcow ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
