tests: add Novell DOS tool baseline suite

Browse Source 
Add DOS-side baseline scripts for the Novell tools used to compare the
reimplemented public utilities.

The suite covers the current baseline set:

  MAP
  SLIST
  WHOAMI
  LOGIN / LOGOUT
  NDIR
  NCOPY
  FLAG
  FLAGDIR
  CREATOR
  RIGHTS
  GRANT
  REVOKE
  REMOVE

It also includes supporting trustee, rights, rename, move, delete and
file-operation tests.

Each test writes reproducible output into a per-tool CMP directory and
provides a matching ZIP helper for collecting the results. The ZIP
helpers clean generated test trees afterwards so SYS: does not keep
accumulating temporary directories.

This is the Novell baseline layer only. A later change can extend the
same scripts to run the full comparison cycle:

  NPUBLIC baseline -> PUBLIC implementation -> NPUBLIC control

MANUAL FILER CHANGE SET:
Recommended controlled changes:

For a readback-only pass, inspect the same entries but do not save changes.
FILPOSTN.BAT should then show no FC differences.

# FILER tests
Manual Novell FILER baseline with pre/post output comparison.
## Files
| File | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `FILPREN.BAT` | Pre-FILER setup and baseline output capture. |
| `FILPOSTN.BAT` | Post-FILER output capture, compare, and cleanup. |
| `FILCMPN.BAT` | Repeat PRE/POST comparisons only. |
| `FILTSTM.TST` | MARS/dosutils regression notes/spec for the scenario. |
## Test flow
```text
FILPREN.BAT
NPUBLIC\FILER
FILPOSTN.BAT
```
Optional repeat compare:
```text
FILCMPN.BAT
```
## Output comparison
`FILPREN.BAT` writes baseline files to:
```text
F:\TFILE\PRE\*.OUT
```
`FILPOSTN.BAT` writes post-FILER files to:
```text
F:\TFILE\POST\*.OUT
```
Then `FC` compares:
```text
FLAGA.OUT
FLAGB.OUT
FLAGK.OUT
NDIR.OUT
DATES.OUT
RIGHTS.OUT
TRUST.OUT
TRUSTA.OUT
```
No differences are expected if FILER was only used for inspection.
Intentional differences are expected if attributes or metadata were changed in FILER.
## Manual changes to perform in FILER
The FILER screen starts at `MARS\SYS:NPUBLIC`. Use the menu to navigate and make a small, controlled change set.
### 1. Go to the test directory
Use:
```text
Select Current Directory
```
Change to:
```text
F:\TFILE
```
or the equivalent NetWare path:
```text
MARS\SYS:TFILE
```
Then use:
```text
Directory Contents
```
You should see:
```text
A.TXT
B.TXT
KEEP.TXT
SUBDIR
```
### 2. Inspect file and directory information
Open/inspect the information screen for:
```text
A.TXT
B.TXT
KEEP.TXT
SUBDIR
SUBDIR\C.TXT
```
Just opening these screens should exercise the server info-readback paths without changing anything.
### 3. Make one or more intentional attribute changes
Use FILER to change only a few obvious attributes, so the `PRE` versus `POST` compare is easy to understand.
Suggested changes:
```text
A.TXT Hidden: toggle
B.TXT Read Only: toggle
KEEP.TXT Archive Needed: toggle
```
If FILER allows editing directory attributes, also inspect `SUBDIR`, but keep directory changes minimal.
### 4. Optional no-change pass
For a pure readback test, do not change anything in FILER. Then `FILPOSTN.BAT` should show no `FC` differences except harmless output/date formatting differences.
### 5. Expected compare results
After leaving FILER, run:
```text
FILPOSTN.BAT
```
Expected results:
```text
No FILER changes:
FC should report no differences for the PRE/POST files.
Changed A.TXT Hidden:
FLAGA.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed B.TXT Read Only:
FLAGB.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed KEEP.TXT Archive Needed:
FLAGK.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed rights/trustees:
RIGHTS.OUT and/or TRUST*.OUT may differ.
```
The important part is that the differences match the intentional FILER changes and the server log shows no unexpected completion codes.
## Server log focus
Look for:
```text
NCP22/25
Set Directory/File Information
change bits
nwp_stat
nw_optain_file_dir_info
nw_search_file_dir
build_d_i
```
