Microsoft CodeView is not able to read the QuickBASIC source file if
it is saved in Fast Load format. If you plan to use the Microsoft
CodeView debugger, be sure that the source file is saved in ASCII
format.

To save a file in ASCII format, use the Save As command on the File
menu in the QB.EXE environment of Microsoft BASIC Compiler version
6.00 or 6.00b, or in the QBX.EXE environment of Microsoft BASIC
Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 or 7.10.

To compile a BASIC program for use with CodeView, follow these steps:

1. BC filename /Zi [other switches]

2. LINK filename /Co [other switches]
