	Having spent 22 years with VMS, 0 -> success is still a problem to me.
Odd result codes (aka True) were 1-success/3-information, even results
(False) were 0-warning/2-error/4-fatal

"""
 Each condition code corresponds to a system message. The command
interpreter saves the condition code as a 32-bit longword defined as the
reserved global symbol $STATUS. The condition code stored in $STATUS is a
hexadecimal number conforming to the format of an OpenVMS message code:

    Bits 0--2 contain the severity level of the message.
    Bits 3--15 contain the number of the corresponding message.
    Bits 16--27 contain a number for the software component, or facility,
that generated the message.
    Bits 28--31 contain internal control flags. 
"""
