  8. ODF Team,
  9.  
  10. For booleans, ODF defines TRUE and FALSE.  OpenDoc uses kODTrue and
  11. kODFalse.  The CW IDE indicates that true and false are boolean keywords.
  12.  
  13. I see in FWStdDef.h that TRUE = 1 and FALSE = 1; the OpenDoc class
  14. reference says that "the size of a boolean type is platform-dependant";
  15. then says that kODTrue = True and kODFalse = False.
  16.  
  17. Could you explain the reasoning for defining new booleans instead of just
  18. using the ones provided by OpenDoc?
  19.  
  20. Thanks in advance,
  21.
