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
FILER tests

Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|

FILPOSTN.BAT |
Post-FILER output capture, compare, and cleanup. |
FILCMPN.BAT |
Repeat PRE/POST comparisons only. |
FILTSTM.TST |

Test flow
FILPREN.BAT
NPUBLIC\FILER
FILPOSTN.BAT
Optional repeat compare:
FILCMPN.BAT
Output comparison
FILPREN.BAT writes baseline files to:
F:\TFILE\PRE\*.OUT
FILPOSTN.BAT writes post-FILER files to:
F:\TFILE\POST\*.OUT
Then FC compares:
FLAGA.OUT
FLAGB.OUT
FLAGK.OUT
NDIR.OUT
DATES.OUT
RIGHTS.OUT
TRUST.OUT
TRUSTA.OUT
No differences are expected if FILER was only used for inspection. Intentional differences are expected if attributes or metadata were changed in FILER.
Manual changes to perform in FILER
The FILER screen starts at MARS\SYS:NPUBLIC. Use the menu to navigate and make a small, controlled change set.
1. Go to the test directory
Use:
Select Current Directory
Change to:
F:\TFILE
or the equivalent NetWare path:
MARS\SYS:TFILE
Then use:
Directory Contents
You should see:
A.TXT
B.TXT
KEEP.TXT
SUBDIR
2. Inspect file and directory information
Open/inspect the information screen for:
A.TXT
B.TXT
KEEP.TXT
SUBDIR
SUBDIR\C.TXT
Just opening these screens should exercise the server info-readback paths without changing anything.
3. Make one or more intentional attribute changes
Use FILER to change only a few obvious attributes, so the PRE versus POST compare is easy to understand.
Suggested changes:
A.TXT Hidden: toggle
B.TXT Read Only: toggle
KEEP.TXT Archive Needed: toggle
If FILER allows editing directory attributes, also inspect SUBDIR, but keep directory changes minimal.
4. Optional no-change pass
For a pure readback test, do not change anything in FILER. Then FILPOSTN.BAT should show no FC differences except harmless output/date formatting differences.
5. Expected compare results
After leaving FILER, run:
FILPOSTN.BAT
Expected results:
No FILER changes:
FC should report no differences for the PRE/POST files.
Changed A.TXT Hidden:
FLAGA.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed B.TXT Read Only:
FLAGB.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed KEEP.TXT Archive Needed:
FLAGK.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
Changed rights/trustees:
RIGHTS.OUT and/or TRUST*.OUT may differ.
The important part is that the differences match the intentional FILER changes and the server log shows no unexpected completion codes.
