8.4 Configuring CodeView with TOOLS.INI

You can configure CodeView and other Microsoft tools including the Microsoft Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) and NMAKE by specifying entries in the TOOLS.INI file. You must have separate sections in TOOLS.INI for each tool. TOOLS.INI sections begin with a “tag”—a line containing the base name of the executable file enclosed in brackets ([]). The tag must appear in column one. The CV and CVW section tags look like this:

[CV]

; MS-DOS CodeView entries

. . .

[CVW]

; Windows CodeView entries

. . .

In the TOOLS.INI file, a line beginning with a semicolon (;) is a comment.

CodeView looks for certain entries following the tag. Each entry may be preceded by any number of spaces, but the entire entry must fit on one line. You may want to indent each entry for readability.
