PROBLEM ID: CV9204002

SYMPTOMS

The Microsoft CodeView Debugger (CV) version 4.0 may cause the

following run-time error when tracing through startup code in

programs that use the Microsoft Overlaid Virtual Environment

(MOVE):

run-time error R6915 -

DOSX16: unhandled exception

After generating this error, CodeView usually returns to MS-DOS,

but may generate other errors or hang.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft CodeView

version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here as it becomes available.

More Information:

MOVE allows users to overlay both code and data to run MS-DOS programs

that are larger than available MS-DOS memory. MOVE can take advantage

EMS or XMS memory.

The Microsoft CodeView Debugger version 4.0 is compatible with

overlaid programs created with MOVE.
