Why does "true" import as -1 instead of 1?

When I imported a file with true in the data field access translated that to
-1, not 1. False was translated to 0, which makes sense.

-1 is the traditional value of a checked check box

not sure what the original logic on that was - just the way it is....

if you whip up a form; and use a checkbox or radio button for that
field...you will see that they are populated where -1 appears in the table....

so it works ok....
