The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q87925 SYMPTOMS
Executing the command cv results in the following error message from
CV.COM:
Error Executing CV.EXE
CAUSE
CV.COM was shipped with MS-DOS 5.0 and was meant for use with versions of
CodeView earlier than 3.14.
RESOLUTION
Delete CV.COM if earlier versions of CodeView will not be used, or make
sure it is not in a directory that is specified in the PATH statement
before the directory that contains CV.EXE.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 includes the file CV.COM for users of CodeView
versions 3.0 to 3.11. When using these versions of CodeView in
conjunction with 80386 memory managers (such as EMM386.EXE) and device
drivers or programs that use extended memory, loss of data may occur.
To start CodeView versions 3.0 to 3.11 safely, use CV.COM. More
information on how to use CV.COM can be found in APPNOTES.TXT that is
included with Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0.
The data loss problem has been fixed in CodeView versions 3.14 and later.
