Try typing :

     g main

at the codeview command window and see if it will show you the source for main.

Well, this is certainly UNUSUAL C programming practice. This is (vritually)
never done! That is why God created linkers, after all (that's a joke, folks!),
so you can do separate compilation and link together multiple object files.

I would further guess (never having thought to try this) that this practice
is somehow the cause of Codeview's confusion over where your source is.
