─────CVPACK─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     The Microsoft Debugging Information Compactor (CVPACK) prepares
     an executable file for use with the Microsoft CodeView debugger
     version 4.00. CVPACK is automatically called by LINK version 5.30
     when /CO is specified (or when a debug build is chosen in PWB).
 
     If a file contains debugging information for an earlier version of
     CodeView or has been linked by another linker, use CVPACK to
     convert it for use with CodeView 4.00.
 
     If the executable file has been packed by an earlier version of
     CVPACK, you must relink the file.
 
     Command-Line Syntax
 
     CVPACK [option] exefile
 
     The <exefile> specifies a single executable file to be packed. You
     can specify a path with the filename. If you do not specify an
     extension, CVPACK assumes the default extension .EXE. If you
     specify a .COM file, CVPACK looks for a .DBG file with the same
     base name and in the same location as the .COM file.
 
     The following option names are not case sensitive and can be
     abbreviated to the shortest unique name:
 
     /H[ELP]
          Calls the QuickHelp utility. If CVPACK cannot find the Help
          file or QuickHelp, it displays a brief summary of CVPACK
          command-line syntax.
 
     /M[INIMUM]
          Preserves only public symbols and line numbers. All other
          debugging information is removed from the executable file.
 
     /N[OLOGO]
          Suppresses the CVPACK copyright message.
 
     /?
          Displays a brief summary of CVPACK command-line syntax.
