The 1999 update to the C standard added a new type called _Bool (the
combination of leading underscore and upper case letter puts it in the
namespace reserved for the implementation) which is similar, but not
identical to, the C++ type bool.
If you include the C99 standard header <stdbool.h>, it defines the
four macros bool, true, false, and __bool_true_false_are_defined.
If your gcc version supports _Bool, you can use this type without
including any header. If it supports _Bool and comes with the header
<stdbool.h> (or you can make your own <stdbool.h>, it's a pretty
simple header), then you can use the C99 macro bool.
Or you can wait for gcc 3 to be released, and ported to DJGPP. It's
due Real Soon Now, and should include a large increase in ISO C++ and
C99 features.
