Title: CVPACK?
Post by: herge on May 22, 2008, 09:05:30 PM

Hi ALL:

What does CVPACK.EXE do?
I now have a .DBG file instead of
a .PDB file. I presume they are
more or less the same.
When I try to exe2bin the exe to a com
it says file can not be converted.

Thanks in advance.

There is a description of CVPACK  here (http://web.sau.edu/LillisKevinM/csci240/masmdocs/envtools/30LMAETC20.DOC)

The later16-bit linkers include a /TINY option that makes exe2bin unnecessary. The error message that you are getting from exe2bin may mean that the file cannot be converted at all, for example, because it contains segment references.
