Since it's a prototype, you will need to look for where the function,
G_Check_DemoStatus() is located. It should look something like this:

boolean G_CheckDemoStatus (void)
{
    // Code
    return result;
}

Porting to Euphoria, you won't need the prototype, but just do this:

function G_CheckDemoStatus()
    -- Code
   return result
end function

boolean just means only allocate enough memory for 1 bit. (I think.. that's
all it needs, anyway.) result will be true or false in the function when it
is called. I assume the function returns true if everything is ok, false
otherwise. Either that, or true when it's not ok...

This answer your question?
