Summary:

SYMPTOMS

Using the Microsoft CodeView Debugger version 4.0 to debug a p-code

application causes the following dialog box to appear:

------------------------Warning--------------------------

| |

| program being debugged contains p-code but no 'model:' |

| specified in tools |

| |

|---------------------------------------------------------|

| <OK> <Help> |

---------------------------------------------------------

Help advises that putting MODEL=<dllname> in the TOOLS.INI file

(where dllname is NMD1PCD.DLL for MS-DOS or NMW0PCD.DLL for

Windows) will allow p-code debugging. However, after following this

advice, CodeView gives the warning:

CV1056: cannot understand entry in 'tools.ini'

"MODEL=<dllname>"

CAUSE

Help should read "MODEL:<dllname>" not "MODEL=<dllname>".

RESOLUTION

Follow the instruction for "CodeView Debugging P-Code" in the

README under the \C700 directory. It contains the correct MODEL

entry in the TOOLS.INI file.

Note that the path in DETAILS.TXT is relative to where C 7.0 is

installed. Also note that the tag for p-code debugging for MS-DOS

is [cv] and the tag for Windows is [cvw]. The following is a sample

TOOLS.INI entry for p-code debugging.

[cv]

MODEL:C:\C700\BIN\NMD1PCD.DLL

[cvw]

MODEL:C:\C700\BIN\NMW0PCD.DLL
