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.
Add maintainer-only support used by the automated DOS compatibility
tests.
This introduces the MAINTAINER_BUILD option for the DOS tools. In
maintainer builds, LOGIN accepts the hidden /PWD: and /PASSWORD:
arguments for automated test relogin, and the DLYSTRT helper is built to
delay-start DOS batch files after the invoking batch has returned to the
prompt.
Add the WHOAMI utility and wire it into the NET command dispatch. Also
adjust SLIST and RIGHTS output to match Novell behavior more closely,
including server-not-found handling, path formatting, Supervisor rights,
missing-path errors and usage text.
Extend the test scripts to compare NPUBLIC Novell baselines against the
PUBLIC implementations. LOGIN/LOGOUT can now run automatically via
DLYSTRT and the maintainer LOGIN password option. RIGHTS gains an
additional NOPASSUSER effective-rights matrix that covers single rights,
mixed rights, Supervisor rights, ALL/N and file trustee cases.
Normal builds remain free of maintainer-only helpers and hidden password
handling.
Add a NetWare-style FLAGDIR implementation for directory attributes and
register it in the multi-call DOS utility dispatcher. The new command
supports the 386-style directory flags Normal, System, Hidden,
DeleteInhibit, Purge and RenameInhibit, and formats output close to the
Novell FLAGDIR tool for simple mapped paths.
Update the DOS utilities install/build metadata so flagdir.exe is emitted
alongside the other public tools. Adjust the Open Watcom CMake build to
compile C sources into the build directory instead of leaving object files
in the source tree.
Move the historical Borland/TASM build files into doc/ to keep the active
source directory focused on the modern Watcom/CMake build.
