Chris,
	Let me publicly admit that I was wrong. Comparison operators
	are required to generate TRUE = 1 in C. The fact that logical
	operators such as ! (not) accept nonzero values as TRUE was
	irrelevant. (The freedom to use TRUE = nonzero is a nice feature,
	but is not allowed for the comparison operators. so compiler
	writers should be aware of this.)
