you and rabidcow are totally correct, and i stand corrected. :-)  bool is
native to ANSI/ISO C++, but not ANSI (or K&R, for that matter) C.  so, yeah,
like rabidcow suggested, Microsoft probably used it because of the absence
of any other solution.  very interesting.

thanks for the correction, guys - you learn something new everyday. :-)
