Summary:

Thirty-two-bit registers are not viewable (using F2) in protect-mode

CodeView (CVP). This is not a problem with CodeView; it is a

limitation.

Real-mode CodeView (CV) does support viewing 32-bit registers. This is

because of the unprotected and generally more flexible nature of DOS.

Since 16-bit OS/2 does not retain the state of the upper 16 bits of

the 32-bit registers during task switching, CVP does not support them

either.
