Is it possible for CVP.exe to debug either a dos-mode program or a dual-mode
program in the dos session of os/2?  I have a large program (>500k) which is
compiled and linked fine in os/2 to generate a dos executable, but I cannot
debug it in os/2 (I do not want to include rebooting under DOS a part of 
compile-debug cycle :)).  
Because I am linking in a library which is not os2 compatible (causes protection
error), I cannot create a protected-mode executable.  
The dos box only has 550k, in my case, which is not enough to run real-mode
Codeview.  If only I could somehow borrow some extended memory for the dos
box (or expanded memory), sighh...

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Lucas
