[Dev-C++] The error on the editor

[<mar...@ho...>]

Hi, I'm Mario from Argentina and I wrote to you last
Monday about a problem on Dev-C++.

Here's what happened:

1) After I sent the mail to you, I realised that there was an update
    available (4.01). So I downloaded it and replaced the old
    DevCpp.exe for the new one... but the error persisted.

2) Then I took a look into my C++ program and try to understand
    why I got the compiler error while my friend (who also works
    with Dev-C++) didn't.
    And there they were: I placed two comments (or remarks if
    you like) starting with "//" BEFORE the inclusion of the
    libraries.

3) I cut'em and pasted'em UNDER "#include <iostream.h>" and
    "#include <stdlib.h>"... but the compiler error persisted.

4) Then I noticed that the cursor wasn't at the top-left corner of
    the editor, and I thought to myself: "It may be an edition
    problem".

5) So I pressed Ctrl+Home to re-position the cursor and clicked
    on the "Compile project" button...
    ALL WAS JUST FINE! NO ERRORS, AND MY EXE FILE
    WAS CREATED.

So I came to a conclusion:

- YOU CAN'T PUT ANY REMARKS BEFORE THE INCLUSION
  OF THE LIBRARIES.

- YOU MUST POSITION THE CURSOR IN THE TOP-LEFT
  CORNER OF THE SCREEN BEFORE COMPILING.

These considerations stand for Dev-Pascal as well.

I hope you'll fix this in your next updates, 'cause Dev-C++ and
Dev-Pascal RULE! Thanx.
