In Section 9.7, "Controlling CodeView with Command-Line Options," on
Page 204 of the "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques" manual,
it incorrectly states that the /I switch (used to turn the nonmaskable
interrupts and 8259 interrupts on or off) is followed by either a 1 or
a 2 (either /I1 or /I2).

The correct switch options are /I0 to trap these interrupts, or /I1 to
ignore these interrupts. Both the online documentation and the
"Microsoft C Reference" give this correct usage of the /I switch.
