This provides a standard way to get a boolean from an environment variable. It treats the variable as true iff its value begins with 'y' or 'Y', like most of the current implementations. The function takes a default value which it returns if the environment variable is undefined. This replaces the various ad-hoc tests of environment variable scattered around and mostly doesn't change their behaviour. The exceptions are TOWERS_2D in Towers and DEBUG_PUZZLES in the Windows front end. Both of those were treated as true if they were defined at all, but now follow the same rules as other boolean environment variables.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
