-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 3.0, 3.11, 3.14, 4.0, 4.01, 4.05, 4.1 
- Microsoft CodeView for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, 4.0, 4.01, 4.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

An attempt to open a source code file in CodeView fails. CodeView version 4.0
sounds the system bell and refuses to load the source code file. CodeView
versions 3.x displays the application in assembly language mode.

CAUSE
=====

The first line of the source code file contains extended ASCII characters (ASCII
codes 0-8, 11, 14-31, or 127-255).

RESOLUTION
==========

To use extended characters in your source file, begin the file with a blank
line.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Even though CodeView does not display an application's source code when the
source contains extended ASCII characters, you can use CodeView to debug the
application in assembly language mode.
