Watch out is right...the newest version of Codeview (released
with MSC 5.0) adds 80K to the .exe size of the version I had
been using, a similar amount to the runtime required load
size...Half the things I used to Codeview all the time no
longer have enough space and using the "Expanded Memory"
option to store the symbol table didn't make any difference!

Thanks a lot, Microsoft.

PS...Not only does new Codeview not load in my old files, old
Codeview is unfortunately also not happy with MSC 5.0 codeview
debugging options and LINK 3.61.
