I was thinking of RestoreOutput myself, but then I was wondering if it
implied restoring the enable/disable state as well.  I'd like to keep
the calls 'paired' as much as possible...

EnableOutput / DisableOutput
InvertOutput / ???Output

I know that RevertOutput was a bit hokey...sort of a combination of
inverting and restoring.  I'm not sure how I feel about Obvert.

NonInvertOutput would work for all those EE's out there, but probably be
annoying to everyone else.

p.s.  I absolutely hate picking API names.  Too often a good API name
has to anticipate how it will be used.  I was really hasty with the
original APIs in NQC 0.4, and those ugly APIs are still hanging around
in the "1.0 compatability mode".

(...) It's a perfectly good word! (It's not in M-W, but OED has it. And M-W has "obverse"....) :) And, it describes exactly what you want. (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
