I have begun using CVW for the first time and all in all it seems to be a really nice debugging environment. But I am experiencing some problems and have a few comments. If anyone knows how to fix the problems I am experiencing I would appreciate hearing from them. 1. The /L flag does not appear to be working. I invoke cvw from the run command off of the progman's file menu. If I specify the /L flag with any values (user, user.exe, c:\windows\system\user.exe) the program manager returns and never starts up codeview. If I just enter "cvw c:\path\myapp" things start up fine. Or almost fine ... 2. When I first enter cvw I am greeted by the following message: CV0013 Warning: Access denied What file is cvw attempting to access that is causing this message? 3. The helpfiles: entry in the tools.ini file appears to be ignored. I had my HELPFILES path variable set to c:\msc\help\*.hlp and I wanted to get the cvw.hlp file from c:\sdk\cvw.hlp so I add the line: helpfiles:c:\sdk\cvw.hlp to my tools.ini file but it did not do any good. In order to get the cvw help I had to change the HELPFILES variable in my autoexec.bat file to c:\sdk\*.hlp and reboot. So I guess that's about it for the moment. Other then these minor problems cvw seems to be working really well and I think it's a great tool.

"Microsoft C 6.0 Advanced Programming Techniques" page 205 says that /L is available only for OS/2. If you start up cvw without any parameters, it asks for a command line and then for "DLLs or other executables with debug information", I think this MIGHT do what you want.
