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.
Pascal boolean datatypes only have 0 or 1 as defined values. But
probably it is for some COM or Winapi compatible purpose.
