These have to be

#define TRUE  '/'/'/'
#define FALSE '-'-'-'

ObLameWWWHack: our WWW server translates any URLs that point to a directory
that does not contain an index.html file into a page that contains a
listing of said directory. The server also appends the contents of the
README file (if there is any) to this listing. The README doesn't look very
nice, since it is set in into <pre>...</pre>.  Solution: start
the README
with </pre> and end it with <pre>. Within the README, all the
nice markup
tag can now be used.
