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

# NCOPY tests
|
|
|
|
Automated NCOPY comparison tests for MARS NWE DOS tools.
|
|
|
|
`NCOPY` is a larger copy/metadata tool. The current test is designed to
|
|
capture Novell behaviour first and compare the Open Source DOS utility against
|
|
it before the implementation is completed.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `NCPTSTA.BAT` | Automated Novell-vs-PUBLIC NCOPY comparison. Writes results to `F:\NCMP`. |
|
|
| `NCPTZIP.BAT` | Optional packer for `F:\NCMP\NCPTSTA.ZIP`. |
|
|
| `README_AUTO.md` | Older notes for the automated test. |
|
|
| `NCPTSTN.BAT` | Manual/pause-based NCOPY baseline test. |
|
|
| `NCPCMPN.BAT` | Manual repeat selected comparisons/output. |
|
|
| `NCPTSTM.TST` | MARS/dosutils regression notes/spec. |
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
`NCPTSTA.BAT` uses the same direction as the other tool tests:
|
|
|
|
| Directory | Meaning |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `OUT` | command output from Novell `NPUBLIC\NCOPY` |
|
|
| `PUBOUT` | command output from Open Source `PUBLIC\NCOPY` |
|
|
| `POSTNOV` | resulting file state captured with Novell tools |
|
|
| `POSTPUB` | resulting file state captured with Open Source tools |
|
|
| `COMPARE.LOG` | `FC` comparisons for command output and resulting state |
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
From a logged-in Supervisor session:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\NCPTSTA
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then inspect:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\NCMP\COMPARE.LOG
|
|
F:\NCMP\SUMMARY.TXT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optionally pack the results:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\NCPTZIP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and upload:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\NCMP\NCPTSTA.ZIP
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Current matrix
|
|
|
|
The automated comparison covers:
|
|
|
|
- `NCOPY /?`
|
|
- `NCOPY` with no arguments
|
|
- single-file copy with `TO`
|
|
- copy of hidden/archive and read-only/archive files
|
|
- `/V`
|
|
- `/S`
|
|
- `/S /E`
|
|
- `/A /S`
|
|
- `/M /S`, including source archive-bit readback
|
|
- missing source
|
|
- `/E` without `/S`
|
|
|
|
The resulting destination/source state is checked with the already validated
|
|
`FLAG`, `NDIR`, and `RIGHTS` tools.
