Can't use cv.exe with masm

Hi. I'm leaning assembly from a book that requires Masm for my programming projects.
I use ml v6.11, link v5.3 and Codeview v2.00.

I can't get debugging info when I build:
ml /c /Zi file.asm
link /CODEVIEW file.obj

When I debug I get a "No Symbolic Info" from
cv.

Also, just curious, is there a way I can use the source debugger in Visual C++ to debug Ml assembled programs. If so, how would I set this up?

are you sure the program holds debug information (compiled / linked with debug option) and not optimized?

I'm having the same problem as Bob. Using the /Zi option and no optimisation.
