Richard:

Under some compilers, your code
>>which is much clumsier than saying:
>>whatever variable = 2 * boolean variable;
Will besak. I've seen systems where TRUE is anything NOT = 0, and is
'undefined' as an exact value. Also, I've heard of systems where FALSE was -1,
and true was 0. (strange, but true)

Besides, the IF statement will compile much smaller than the multiplication
(even under an optimizing compiler).
