## Description

TryStrToBool tries to convert the string S to a boolean value, and returns this value in Value. In this case, the function returns True. If S does not contain a valid boolean string, the function returns False, and the contents of Value is undetermined.

Valid boolean string constants are in the FalseBoolStrs (for False values) and TrueBoolStrs (for True values) variables.
