Re: [Bug-GnuCOBOL] runtime module libcob/fileio.c not compilable with VBISAM

[Simon Sobisch]

@Ron:

SourceForge has the original 2.0 version by Roger While.

I'll come back to VBISAM comitting the enhanched version during the 3.0
merge as I'll have something to test it against then.
After this is done there will be a VBISAM 2.2 release on SF.
