Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Under Screen Swap, the CodeView Options dialog box provides the
     following options to specify the screen-exchange method:
 
     Use CodeView Default
          CodeView automatically determines the screen-exchange method.
          Choose this option for CVW.
 
     Flip Screen Video
          Use with programs that write only to a text page or use bios
          functions for screen output.
 
          Stores each screen of text in a special memory buffer, the
          video-display buffer, which is reserved for multiple screens
          of video output.
 
          The command-line equivalent is /F.
 
     Swap Screen in Buffers
          Use for debugging graphics programs or programs that use
          multiple screen buffers.
 
          Creates a buffer in memory and uses it to store the screen not
          being used. When you request this screen, CodeView swaps the
          screen in the display buffer for the one in the storage
          buffer.
 
          The command-line equivalent is /S.
