Summary:

Page 203 of the "Advanced Programming Techniques" manual that ships

with Microsoft C version 6.0 incorrectly documents the command line

required to redirect input and output from the command window of

CodeView using the /C command-line switch.

CV /c "infile; t >outfile" myprog

CV /c"<infile; t >outfile" myprog

Without the inclusion of the "<" character, CodeView treats "infile"

as a command instead of a file to be read from. Furthermore, the space

Unrecognized option /C

Valid options:
