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.
MARS dosutils tests
This directory contains DOS-side regression and compatibility tests for mars-dosutils.
The tests are grouped by feature so that Novell reference-tool checks and our own tool regressions stay separated but easy to compare.
Directory layout
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
flag/ |
File/directory attribute tests, Novell NPUBLIC\FLAG baseline and MARS PUBLIC\FLAG regression notes. |
flagdir/ |
Planned: directory-specific FLAG and recursive attribute tests. |
grant/ |
Planned: trustee grant tests. |
rights/ |
Planned: effective-rights and trustee readback tests. |
map/ |
Planned: MAP command and login-script mapping tests. |
login/ |
Planned: LOGIN/NLOGIN compatibility tests. |
logout/ |
Planned: LOGOUT/NLOGOUT compatibility tests. |
Naming
DOS-executed files should use 8.3 names. Keep Novell reference tests and MARS tests close together, but name them clearly.
Suggested suffixes:
*N.BATfor Novell-only baseline tests usingNPUBLIC/NLOGIN.*M.TSTor*M.BATfor MARS/dosutils tests usingPUBLIC/LOGIN.*CMP.BATfor comparison/helper scripts.
Expected workflow
- Run the Novell baseline test first.
- Check the MARS NWE server log for the expected NCP path and completion codes.
- Run or implement the matching MARS/dosutils regression test.
- Keep notes in the feature directory
