Isn't this a copyright violation? I don't have Codeview, but I would certainly
be surprised if Microsoft didn't copyright the manual as well as the software.
Not that I wouldn't be sympathetic to your problem, especially considering 
Microsoft's attitude, but a judge would have to rule against you. I'ld 
recommend you purchase a legitimate second-source manual for Codeview (sorry
I don't know of one but the local computer bookstore should have one).

A second option would be to trash Codeview and buy Borland's Turbo Debug/TASM.
(it's $55 at our bookstore).
