SGI's C++ compiler and the boolean type

Hello,

	I have begun using SGI's C++ compiler (Translator 4.0) since
I want to use their CASEVision debugger.  I have previously used g++
to do my compilation, and it correctly interpreted the "bool" type
without any problems.  However now that I am using SGI's compiler I
get all kinds of compiler errors whenever it encounters "bool", "true",
or "false" in my codes.  The only workaround I've been able to come up
with is to include the following lines in my header file:

typedef int     bool;
#define true    1
#define false   0

	Is there something that I'm missing here, such as compiler
flags or include files ?  Is this a case of SGI dropping the ball by
not including support for a standard type ? 

	The command I'm using to compile with is

 CC -g -o plusfilt main.cpp frame.cpp buffer.cpp options.cpp list.cpp -lm


	Thanks for any suggestions or insight !


-James
