       repeat ... until false   
   or   
       while true do

   Nope, these statements are illegal. True and false are reserved words   
   (ie can not be reassigned) and are boolean caonstants. 1 and 0 are   
   integer constants. As we have told you before you have to free yourself   
   from the bad habits of C programmers, who mix types like that.
