You need to read through the READ ME file that came with the 2.1 SDK. Basicially, what you need to do is the following: 1) Change to your windows/386 subdirectory. 2) Rename the file WIN86.COM to WIN.COM. 3) Copy your COMMAND.COM (from wherever it's at) into a file named WIN86.COM in your windows/386 directory. Now, to use CodeView, you change directories to your windows/386 node and execute win386. After a short delay, it will look like you are running in another DOS shell. Well you are, it's just that that shell is running in a virtual machine under windows/386. Also, all your free extended memory is now expanded memory! From one of these DOS prompts, execute CodeView (i.e., cvw /2 /l frob.exe win.com frob.exe). The example would run CodeView on a secondary monitor using FROB.EXE as the source of symbol information and running FROB.EXE once windows starts up. When you leave CodeView/Windows, you may want to enter EXIT at a DOS prompt to leave the windows/386 virtual machine manager/memory manager.
