damn... that means all my programs are written wrong I always use 1 for success, 0 for failure.. seems most logical in my eyes, since 1 is often equal to true, and 0 to false.
See what I mean? Regarding true/false, consider the following:

MY PROGRAM SCREWED UP.

One might reason that there is often one way for something to succeed and lebenty-jillion ways for it to fail. There's only one "zero". How are YOU going to allocate your indicative numbers?
