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.   Marc
