When loading CodeView protected mode (CVP), the "SYS0197 OS/2 not
configured to run this application" error message may appear. A
request for help on 0197 prompts the "requires input/output privilege"
message. You need to set IOPL=YES in CONFIG.SYS to run CVP.

   The following information is from the section titled "Microsoft(R)
CodeView(R) Debugger" of the Microsoft C Version 5.10 UTILITY.DOC
file, the FORTRAN Version 4.10 CVREADME.DOC file, and the Microsoft
Macro Assembler Version 5.10 README.DOC file.

CONFIG.SYS Setting for CVP
   To run the protected-mode CodeView debugger (CVP.EXE), you must
have the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:

   IOPL=YES
