- I'm told that one of the members of a struct declared in the Microsoft OLE
- headers is called "bool". This would seem to present a problem for MS,
- because they'll have to change their header file (thus annoying their
- customers) if they want to produce a compiler that supports bool. Does
- anybody know (1) how the MS representatives on the ANSI/ISO committee let
- this get through, and (2) whether there are any plans to change the keyword
- as a result?

- Thanks,
