[Gdal-dev] GDAL/Shapelib support for "Boolean" fields

[Ben Discoe]

Frank,

Sorry about this.  FTLogical was apparently added late last year, and my
copy of shapefil.h was slightly older.  If you recall, i had to adopt a
mirror of shapefil.h because it is not part of the standard GDAL
libs/headers distribution, re: our discussion of how to expose Shapelib
to users of GDAL.
