I have done the header files. There may still be one or zeroes which escaped me (but I hope not). Next are the .C files...

I have now updated the .C files too. Everything compiles and runs.
It is possible that I have missed some 0 (that was not already commented as a "nullptr"), but I think I have changed almost all of them if not all.

Ha ha! I did not change "nearly" all 0s into nullptr that need to be changed.
I've just changed many more... it is an awful thankless task.
Probably a few have still escaped... but I don't care!
Will CVS in a while.

All tests pass, examples too. Even with debugging active.
Checked-in.
Closing. It is not worth devoting any more time to this (unless there is some fast automatic tool for detecting when 0 is used as nullptr).
I was surprised to find a few places where 0 was used as false (and 1 as true).
