     If you run CodeView on an 80386 or 80486 machine, you can take
     advantage of the following 80386/486 features:
 
        ■ 80386 debug registers. These registers allow CodeView to
          implement certain types of breakpoints through the processor
          itself, thus increasing the speed of program execution.
 
          To use debug registers, give the /R option on the
          CV or CVW command line.
 
        ■ 32-bit registers and instructions. You can display the
          CodeView Register window in the wider 80386 format, and
          you can assemble and execute 80386/486 instructions that
          reference 32-bit registers and memory.
 
          To use 80386 registers, and 80386 or 80486 instructions,
          choose the 386 Instructions command from the Options menu
          or enter the O3 command in the command window.
