Mario Fetka f214e89d69 tests: add Novell DOS tool baseline suite 
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

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.BAT for Novell-only baseline tests using NPUBLIC/NLOGIN.
  • *M.TST or *M.BAT for MARS/dosutils tests using PUBLIC/LOGIN.
  • *CMP.BAT for comparison/helper scripts.

Expected workflow

  1. Run the Novell baseline test first.
  2. Check the MARS NWE server log for the expected NCP path and completion codes.
  3. Run or implement the matching MARS/dosutils regression test.
  4. Keep notes in the feature directory README.md.
