Assume that two source files, MAINPROG.C and FILE_NAM.C, have been
compiled with CodeView information. The main function in MAINPROG.C
calls a function in FILE_NAM.C.

When the following command is executed in CodeView, CodeView responds
with "syntax error":

   V.FILE_NAM.C

When FILE_NAM.C is renamed and recompiled as FILENAM.C, the following
command works properly, and the source code in FILENAM.C is displayed:

   V.FILENAM.C

Attempts to open a file with an underscore character will work
correctly through the "Open" menu in CodeView, but will fail with the
View command.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 2.20. We are
researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes
available.
