The following steps can be used to create an assembly listing of a
program with CodeView:

1. Begin CodeView in sequential mode by using the /T command-line
   switch.

2. Specify a listing file to redirect CodeView output to by typing the
   redirection operator ">" followed by a filename at the dialog
   prompt. You may redirect the output directly to a printer by
   specifying the printer after the ">" (e.g., >PRN).

   (Note: From this point on, commands will not be viewable.)

3. Use the Unassemble command "U" to disassemble the code and send a
   listing of the program to the output file. If you do not specify
   the starting address and the range to unassemble, CodeView will
   unassemble the next eight lines of code. See the CodeView
   documentation for more information on the Unassemble command.

You can use this method on any files, whether or not they contain
CodeView information. In this regard, you can create assembly listings
of programs that were not created with a Microsoft compiler. Please
also note that you cannot create assembly listings of instructions
other than 8086 instructions.
