CodeView was a standalone debugger created by David Norris at Microsoft in 1985 as part of its development toolset. It originally shipped with Microsoft C 4.0 and later. It also shipped with Visual Basic for MS-DOS, Microsoft Basic PDS, and a number of other Microsoft language products. It was one of the first debuggers on the MS-DOS platform that was full-screen oriented, rather than line oriented (like its predecessors DEBUG.COM and symdeb).
When running, CodeView would present the user with several windows that could be tiled, moved, sized and otherwise manipulated via the keyboard or mouse, with CodeView 4.x providing a richer interface. Some of the windows included:
You don't know my name
No need to know
I am the dark sick blind hate
Bad to the bone
I will destroy all holy - insurrection day
And on my day of glory - resurrection day
I will be awaitin' you
Rippin' you apart
Inside out
Inside out
Inside out
Inside hell
I am disaster
Lethal and bold
I am the evil master
Your final call
I will destroy all holy - insurrection day
And on my day of glory - resurrection day
I will be awaitin' you
Welcome to my home, I'll be waiting
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
Inside hell
