Dear all,<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New">I had already mentioned this a while ago
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-exists-yields-double-tt4039853.html">http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-exists-yields-double-tt4039853.html</a>),
but as I guess we are in the update season, it would be good
opportunity to fix this (if there isn't strong opposition, or a
good reason for this behavior, of course).<br>
<br>
I'm referring to the fact that the function exists() should by
nature yield a Boolean result such as T or F. However, it yields 1
or 0. While this is not a big deal, similar functions performing a
binary decision on their arguments, such as isreal(), isvector(),
isfile() and many others, yield Boolean results. <br>
<br>
