In objects.h of the source

#define Copy_Flag(Object1, Object2, Flag) \
  { (Object1)->Flags = (((Object1)->Flags) & (!Flag)) | \
                       (((Object2)->Flags) &  (Flag)); }

The inversion of Flag uses boolean inversion instead of bitwise
inversion.  On some compilers this won't work.  I haven't checked
the rest of the code to see how often this macro is used.

Regards,
John
