# NCOPY automated test

`NCPTSTA.BAT` is the automated/no-screenshot variant of the NCOPY test.

## Run

```text
NCPTSTA.BAT
```

It does not pause and redirects tool output into result files.

## Result directory

```text
F:\NCMP
```

Important files:

```text
F:\NCMP\RUN.LOG
F:\NCMP\SUMMARY.TXT
F:\NCMP\PRE\*.OUT
F:\NCMP\POST\*.OUT
F:\NCMP\CMP\*.OUT
```

If `ZIP.EXE` is installed and in `PATH`, the script also creates:

```text
F:\NCMP\NCPTSTA.ZIP
```

## Notes

Classic DOS redirection normally captures stdout. Most Novell tools print their
normal output there, so this avoids screenshots and OCR for most tests.

Interactive prompts are avoided in this automated variant. The `/V` verify path
is tested by copying to a fresh destination instead of overwriting an existing
file that would prompt for confirmation.

`/M` is expected to clear the archive bit on copied source files, so PRE/POST
source flag comparisons may intentionally differ.
