Why true is -1 instead of 1 is beyond me, but anyway, I would consider
this BoolToInt, not BoolToStr,I want the Strings ‘TRUE’ or ‘FALSE’ as
indicated in the documentation
Very logical in fact. 0 is NO bit set in any given size of boolean data
type, -1 means ALL bits set on that same size boolean data type. And a
check on TRUE or FALSE, can easily be done with checking the sign flag
of a processor rather than doing actually any bit fiddling (at least on
those CPUs that I am familiar with).
