dosutils: align Novell-compatible tests and stage NCOPY work
Update the DOS utilities and test suite with the current Novell comparison state. Validated/updated tool behavior: - improve CREATOR output by showing Novell-style attribute and rights masks - extend FLAGDIR handling with old NCP22 directory attribute read/write fallback paths - expand NDIR Novell-style formatting, filtering, /SUB handling, date output, DI/RI attribute display and richer metadata collection - adjust REVOKE output/grammar, recursive /SUBDIRECTORIES behavior and trustee update/delete paths to better match Novell tools - adjust SLIST header/output behavior for logged-in and logged-out cases - update README status to reflect the currently green/tested tools Test-suite changes: - add/refresh Novell comparison tests for CREATOR, NDIR, REVOKE and SLIST - update NCOPY tests and collection scripts for the current investigation state - refresh per-tool README files and top-level test documentation - keep MAP documented as still separately open NCOPY: - add the current NCOPY implementation and experimental NCP74/server-side-copy scaffolding - build ncopy.c so it stays compile-tested - keep NCOPY disabled in the NET multicall dispatch for now because the server-side-copy/open-handle path is still unsafe and needs further analysis Build: - include ncopy.c in the DOS utility build - drop the temporary MARS_DOSUTILS_VERSION define wiring from CMake

## Current status
|
||||
|
||||
The tree is a modernization of the historical mars_nwe DOS utilities. It still keeps the original Borland-era style and APIs where useful, but now also has an Open Watcom/CMake build path and working DOS Client32 support for the FLAG-family and trustee/right tools.

Recently validated with byte-for-byte Novell comparison tests or equivalent
|
||||
readback tests:
|
||||
|
||||
- `FLAG` file attribute read/modify through DOS Client32
|
||||
- `FLAGDIR` directory attribute read/modify through DOS Client32
|
||||
- `RIGHTS` effective-rights display through Client32 NCP87
|
||||
- `GRANT` trustee assignment for users and groups
|
||||
- `REVOKE` trustee-right removal for users and groups
|
||||
- `REMOVE` trustee deletion for users and groups
|
||||
- Novell-tool comparison for `FLAG`, including `ALL`, `N`, `RO`, `RW`, high bits, and display layout
|
||||
- Novell-tool comparison for `FLAGDIR`, including `Normal`, `System`, `Hidden`, `DeleteInhibit`, `Purge`, `RenameInhibit`, and combined attributes
|
||||
- Novell-tool comparison for `RIGHTS`, `GRANT`, `REVOKE`, and `REMOVE`
|
||||
- CMake/Open Watcom build using binary-directory object files, so `.obj`/`.o` files are no longer written into the source tree
|
||||
- `CREATOR` metadata/xattr readback, including readable attribute and rights-mask output
|
||||
- `FLAG` file attribute display and modification, including high NetWare bits such as DI/RI
|
||||
- `FLAGDIR` directory attribute display and modification
|
||||
- `GRANT` trustee assignment matrix and normal-user rights readback
|
||||
- `NDIR` directory listing, filters, `/DATES`, `/RIGHTS`, `/SUB`, DI/RI display and user-context readback
|
||||
- `REMOVE` trustee deletion matrix and normal-user rights readback
|
||||
- `REVOKE` trustee-right removal matrix and normal-user rights readback
|
||||
- `RIGHTS` effective-rights display
|
||||
- `SLIST` server listing while logged in and while logged out from `SYS:LOGIN`
|
||||
- `WHOAMI` option/output comparison
|
||||
- maintainer baseline for `LOGIN`/`LOGOUT`
|
||||
|
||||
The DOS test suite is documented in [`test/README.md`](test/README.md). Each
|
||||
feature directory also contains its own README with run instructions and result
|
||||
layout.
|
||||
|
||||
Still to validate or continue:
|
||||
|
||||
- DOSX/VLM/NETX fallback behavior for `FLAG` and `FLAGDIR`
|
||||
- More complex `FLAGDIR` paths beyond the simple mapped-directory cases already tested
|
||||
- full `PUBLIC\MAP` comparison against Novell `MAP` beyond the current MAP baseline/semantics test
|
||||
- DOSX/VLM/NETX fallback behavior where relevant
|
||||
- OS/2 requester/tool behavior
|
||||
- Additional Novell-like utilities such as `NDIR`, `PURGE`, and `SALVAGE`
|
||||
- additional Novell-like utilities such as `PURGE` and `SALVAGE`
|
||||
- further MARS-NWE server-side NCP endpoint coverage where newer tests expose gaps
