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

[Ron Norman]

There is also VBISAM 2.1.1 which was made more reentrant by COBOL-IT and I've made changes to both 2.0 and 2.1.1 which I sent you both some time ago.

I am not sure which version is on sourceforge...

As Ron pointed out - the README already says "2.0 or later".

I've just changed the default on the SF VBISAM site to be 2.0 instead of
1.03beta (did so before but obviously this got reverted, maybe because
of some backup at SF site...).

Ideally configure would check for a matching VBISAM version. vbisam.h
doesn't define any version numbers, but I'll add a linker check for
isfullclose(), should be better than nothing...
