One of the people here has discovered how to find the location in CodeView
that controls the radix that is set using the 'N' command. We prefer to
always start up in hexadecimal, so we have changed the default radix from
10 to 16.
All you have to do is find the string "AX", then search for the first
byte containing a 0a. Change that byte to 10 (hexadecimal) and the default
should now be base 16. Sorry we couldn't give a DEBUG patch, but the locations
to change are beyond the 64K boundary. You'll have to use one of the disk
file patchers for this.
This technique works with either CV 1.0 or 1.1.
(Do I have to say that you should do this on a backup copy of CodeView just
in case?)

Make a command file named CV.BAT, and put it somewhere on your hard disk where it will be seen before CV.EXE (the CodeView executable). \codeviewdirectoryname\CV -C"N16" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 This tells CodeView to execute the N16 (set radix for input numbers to base 16) command when starting CodeView. %1 through %9 are input parameters so you can specify parameters just like you are starting CodeView directly.
