Product(s): Microsoft Programming Utilities
Version(s): 4.0,4.1
Operating System(s):

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

- Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 4.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Accessing the help for RCVCOM.EXE by entering the command "RCVCOM /?" (without
the quotation marks) or "RCVCOM /h" (without the quotation marks) displays help
text that incorrectly references RCVCOM as RMCVCOM.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0 and 4.01.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.

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

The help text should display the following:

Usage:

RCVCOM [-p parms] [-r]

  "parms" provides serial communications parameters. These are specified using
  a "MODE"-type string that identifies the serial port and baud rate to be
  used. E.g.,

RCVCOM -p COM1:9600

  "-r" specifies that RCVCOM should continue executing after the debugging
  session has terminated. If specified RMCVCOM will attempt to establish a new
  debugging session every time a session terminates.

Additional query words: 4.00
