Subject:
Casting from (const char *) to (char *) in liboctave/oct-time.cc
---------------------------------


On Digital Unix 4.0c, gcc-2.95.2, octave-2.1.20, compilation stops at
liboctave/oct-time.cc since a pointer to a const char (string.c_str) is passed
to a pointer to a char (tm.tm_zone).

The attached patch is a quick and dirty solution, that simply inserts 2 casts.
