    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    The information in this article applies to:

     - The Visual Workbench Integrated Debugger included with:
       Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, version 1.5
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    SYMPTOMS
    ========

    With Visual C++ 1.0, when you run N2D.BAT to use the debug version of
    Windows, you are able to see the Windows API names in the debugger window
    while stepping through your code in Mixed Source/Assembly mode. For
    example, if you have a call to DrawText() in your code, in either CodeView
    or the Workbench debugger, you will see the line:

       CALL DRAWTEXT (0767:1ECF)

    However, when using the debug kernel that comes with Visual C++ 1.5, you
    will not see the API name; you will see:

       CALL 0767:1ECF

    CAUSE
    =====

    The difference is that Visual C++ version 1.0 debug kernel modules contain
    CodeView debugging information, while the Visual C++ 1.5 debug kernel
    modules do not contain CodeView information.

    RESOLUTION
    ==========

    If it is important for you to be able to see API names in the debugger, you
    may use the debug kernel, which is included with Visual C++, version 1.0,
    and Visual C++, version 1.5.

    MORE INFORMATION
    ================

    Visual C++, version 1.0, contains the debug kernel for Windows version 3.1,
    while Visual C++ 1.5 contains the debug kernel for Windows for Workgroups
    version 3.11. You may use the Windows version 3.1 debug kernel with Windows
    for Workgroups without problems.
