#86 GCvs 1.0 will not compile on Fedora Core 2

[John Le Guen]

I had a problem compiling GCvs 1.0 on Fedora core 2. I
made a few changes to the code as attached. It was
successful. It seems that I needed to cast the
parameters on the call to UCvsFiles::ResetView. There
are two overloaded functions one with a boolean as the
fiirst argument the other with cont char * argument. I
think the gcc complier is confusing the two assuming
them to perhaps be integer.
This looks like a compiler issue, but other gcvs users
may like to use this as a workaround.
If the patch format is inadequate, I have only
submitted one other patch before, please contact me and
I will try again
