I found a very useful file with this information in by calling up the
Microsoft BBS on +1-503-645-6275. The file name was something line
"SS036.EXE". The major omission is any real discussion of CodeView specific
records.

The document(s) from the above file don't cover the instruction sequences
that you ought to be generating for W3.1 compliant calls. I found some of
the required info in "The Windows Programmer's Guide to DLL and Memory
Management" by Mike Klien published by Sams (ISBN 0-672-30236-5).

> Any help?

Hope that's useful.

Regards, Trevor.
