Here at Carroll, somebody has walked off with our only copies of the Codeview manual. Microsoft will not send out just the manuals - you have to buy the software package again. (MASM 5.1 is the applicable program here). We are wondering if anyone has taken the time (or will take the time) to photocopy the manual and send it to us. We'll pay shipping costs, of course, as well as duplication costs. Please respond by e-mail to one of the addresses in my .signature. (I don't have time to flip through this group searching for responses, thanks). Any help would be appreciated. -- tkopp@carroll1.cc.edu or uunet!marque!carroll1!tkopp Thomas J.

I don't have Codeview, but I would certainly be surprised if Microsoft didn't copyright the manual as well as the software. Not that I wouldn't be sympathetic to your problem, especially considering Microsoft's attitude, but a judge would have to rule against you. I'ld recommend you purchase a legitimate second-source manual for Codeview (sorry I don't know of one but the local computer bookstore should have one). A second option would be to trash Codeview and buy Borland's Turbo Debug/TASM. (it's $55 at our bookstore). -- Scott Bostater GTRI/RAIL/RAD (Ga.

However, we have purchased the software, legally we are entitled to have the documentation for it. Microsoft won't supply us with it (according to the the person who wanted this message written), so what choice does that leave us to get original documentation? Sure, 3rd party books are great, but it's my experience that they seldom cover everything that is in the originals. And often have misinterpreted the originals about a fact or two (Not that originals are perfect, but... :) ) As to TDB or the like, well, we have purchased that too, but haven't had time to get it installed and figured out on our equipment. As such, it isn't being taught in our classes yet. -- tkopp@carroll1.cc.edu or uunet!marque!carroll1!tkopp Thomas J. Kopp @ Carroll College 3B2 - Waukesha, WI
