4.9 K Application / Octect stream attachment?

I am showing that TRUE and FALSE are not defined on Compaq C if you
specify strict ANSI compliance.

The proper fix would be to have these symbols defined in CONFIG.H if the
configure script does not detect them present.

This of course means that the configure script should also be be patched.

Even in uncompressed plain text, that should not take 4.9K.

I would expect a C compiler to be Case Sensitive, I seem to recall that
being part of the language specification.

TRUE and FALSE seem to be extensions that are common, but not permitted if
the requesting that the headers work under the ANSI naming rules.  But
this is just based on reading the comments in my local header files, and
not looking in the various standard documents.

The more subtle issue is that the last ANSI draft that I saw said
that only 6 characters of external symbols need to be significant for
linking, and I am not sure if they are required to be case sensitive.

C compilers need to work on some platforms that do not have case sensitive
linkers.
