problems with the codeview

[deltanusigma]

I am facing problems with the codeview version 4.01 the debugger of the masm. 
I don't get to open the file of the way help none. he says that the file 
don't exist. in spite of cv.hlp the file of help to be inside la of the directory. 
I didn't also get to open the help using the way of the. precise of the codeview 
for debugging the programs done in " art of assembley " it is him that is used 
 
thank you

usually cv.hlp should be found if it is stored in the same directory as cv.exe.

But there is also a TOOLS.INI file, where one might set:

[cv]
HELPFILES:C:\MSVC\HELP\CV.HLP

unhappily it didn't work, he continues not finding the file of help 
thank you in any way

I don't know about 4.01, but the 3.14 that I think came with MASM 6.00B depended on a HELPFILES environment variable setting. The original setup created a NEW-VARS.BAT that contained:

Code Select Expand


SET PATH=C:\MASM\BIN\;C:\MASM\BINB\;<original path here>
SET INCLUDE=C:\MASM\INCLUDE\
SET HELPFILES=C:\MASM\HELP\*.HLP
SET INIT=C:\MASM\INIT\
SET ASMEX=C:\MASM\SAMPLES\


Normally you would copy the contents of NEW-VARS.BAT to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, but you could just as well put them in a normal BAT file and use the BAT file to run CV and pass arguments to it.
