Move the common NCP22 DOS name buffer helper into tools.c and declare it in
net.h.
Replace the local copy/uppercase implementations in CREATOR, FLAG, FLAGDIR,
NDIR and NWTESTS with tool_copy_ncp22_name(). The helper keeps the existing
behavior: uppercase conversion, path separator rejection and the 1..12 byte
DOS name length limit.
NCOPY is intentionally left untouched while its NCP copy path remains under
investigation.
Move common little-endian and big-endian buffer helpers into tools.c and
declare them in net.h.
Replace local duplicate implementations in FLAG, FLAGDIR and NDIR with the
shared helpers. This keeps the existing packet layouts unchanged while reducing
copy/paste code across the DOS utilities.
NCOPY and the experimental NCP copy code are intentionally left untouched for
now.
Add GPL-2-or-later license headers to the DOS utility source files and
document the purpose and local dependencies of each C, header and assembler
file.
Preserve the original Martin Stover copyright attribution for the historic
MARS-NWE utility sources, including files that did not previously carry an
explicit header but are part of the original tool set. Add Mario Fetka as the
2026 copyright holder for the current maintenance work, and use Mario-only
headers for files without original Martin Stover ownership.
Also add a root-level COPYING file containing the GPL-2 license text.
Move FLAG, GRANT and REMOVE closer to the request paths used by the
Novell tools and extend the DOS comparison tests.
FLAG now reads attributes through the old NCP22 directory scan path and
writes them through NCP22/25 Set Directory/File Information. This keeps
extended attributes such as Delete Inhibit and Rename Inhibit intact and
matches the Novell behavior observed in the server logs.
GRANT now prefers NCP22/27 SetTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. Supervisor
rights are expanded like Novell does, so granting S sends and reports the
full SRWCEMFA mask. The visible output, path formatting and error text
are adjusted to match the Novell baseline.
REMOVE now prefers NCP22/2B DelTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. The
DelTrustee request layout is corrected, /SUBDIRS handling is aligned
with Novell, and the output/error text is matched to the baseline.
The FLAG, FLAGDIR, GRANT and REMOVE tests now compare NPUBLIC baselines
against the PUBLIC implementations and add delayed NOPASSUSER readback
checks using DLYSTRT and the maintainer LOGIN password option.
Move common DOS utility helper code into tools.c and expose it through
net.h. This removes duplicated command-local helpers from GRANT,
RIGHTS, FLAG, FLAGDIR and the trustee helper layer.
The shared helpers cover case-insensitive argument comparison, help and
option detection, /FILES and /SUBDIRS parsing, current network directory
handle lookup, current volume prefix formatting, uppercase DOS path
copying, basename/header-path handling, wildcard detection and simple
path joining/splitting.
Keep the command frontends smaller and less coupled so the current
multicall utility can later be split into smaller grouped multicall
binaries, such as trustee tools, login/session tools and file/flag
tools.
Update the DOS utilities README for the newer Client32 and trustee
commands. Document RIGHTS, GRANT, REVOKE and REMOVE in the status,
feature, command and install sections. Add command reference entries
for the trustee tools, including Novell-style syntax, supported rights,
recursive/file options and missing-trustee behavior.
Also mention the shared trustee helper layer and common tools.c helpers
used by the newer command frontends.
- add a shared DOS pager helper for long tool output
- page FLAG wildcard output with the Novell continue prompt
- fix FLAGDIR current-directory handling for "." and volume root
- add FLAGDIR wildcard directory listing support
- page FLAGDIR wildcard output like Novell FLAGDIR
- keep FLAGDIR display formatting aligned with Novell output
- make SLIST /CONTINUE enable continuous output
- keep SLIST bindery scanning compatible with ncpfs behavior
- preserve SLIST NET_ADDRESS display and default server marking
