Re: [Dev-C++] How to update beyond 4980? (vUpdate is barking at me)

[Doug M. <dou...@al...>]

Egg on my face.  I usually have "search hidden files and folders" 
checked in the search dialog, but it was unchecked when I looked just 
now.  That's why it didn't find the Dev-Cpp.cfg file.

It's also odd that when I retried the "Tools->Check for 
Updates/Packages..." just now, the complaint about $INCLUDE field was no 
longer there.  You'd think it would have the consderation to break 
consistently, but no.... 8^)

Thanks,
Doug
