The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS and Windows, versions 4.0 and 4.01

SYMPTOMS

Using the Microsoft CodeView Debugger version 4.0 or 4.01 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 instructions 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
