It is not DJGPP but gcc which complains the above. The reason: 'false'
and
'true' are reserved words in gcc of the new type 'bool'. If you realy
want
to declare your own Boolean type, use any other (not reserved) words.
But I
think the better way is to use the 'bool' type, because it is stored as
a single byte but an 'enum' is stored (mostly) as an int (4 bytes).
