SYMPTOMS
Executing the command cv results in the following error message from CV.COM:

Error Executing CV.EXE



CAUSE
CV.COM was shipped with MS-DOS 5.0 and was meant for use with versions of CodeView earlier than 3.14.



RESOLUTION
Delete CV.COM if earlier versions of CodeView will not be used, or make sure it is not in a directory that is specified in the PATH statement before the directory that contains CV.EXE.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 includes the file CV.COM for users of CodeView versions 3.0 to 3.11. When using these versions of CodeView in conjunction with 80386 memory managers (such as EMM386.EXE) and device drivers or programs that use extended memory, loss of data may occur. To start CodeView versions 3.0 to 3.11 safely, use CV.COM. More information on how to use CV.COM can be found in APPNOTES.TXT that is included with Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0.

The data loss problem has been fixed in CodeView versions 3.14 and later.

Additional query words: 4.00 4.10
