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
DOS utility regression tests
This directory contains DOS-side comparison and regression tests for the
mars-dosutils tools. The tests are meant for maintainer use against a MARS-NWE
SYS: tree that also contains the original Novell tools in SYS:NPUBLIC and
SYS:NLOGIN.
Most tests compare captured Novell output with the current public implementation byte-for-byte. Some tests also switch to a normal user and read back effective rights, because matching command output alone is not enough for trustee tools.
Output naming convention
The generated result trees use these names consistently:
OUT Novell reference output from SYS:NPUBLIC or SYS:NLOGIN
PUBOUT current implementation output from SYS:PUBLIC or SYS:LOGIN
COMPARE.LOG
UNOV Novell readback while logged in as NOPASSUSER
UPUB public readback while logged in as NOPASSUSER
UCOMP.LOG
LOUT Novell output while logged out, usually from SYS:NLOGIN copy
LPUBOUT public output while logged out, usually from SYS:LOGIN copy
LCOMP.LOG
Not every test has every directory. For example, SLIST has LOUT/LPUBOUT,
while trustee tools usually have UNOV/UPUB.
User switching and local helpers
Tests that must survive a LOGOUT use DLYSTRT.EXE and a local helper directory
on C:. This is required because logging out removes F: and normal network
mappings. The common pattern is:
- run the main
*STA.BATasSUPERVISORfromF:, - copy the helper
*C.BAT,DLYSTRT.EXE, and required tools toC:\*TMP, - queue the helper with
DLYSTRT, - let the helper log out, perform the user or logged-out checks, log back in,
- queue
F:\*STA.BAT PART2, - compare and package the captured files.
For automatic re-login, set the Supervisor password before starting the test:
SET LGNTPWD=your-supervisor-password
LGNTPWD is used only by maintainer tests and should not be committed to any
script or log.

Packaging
Most test directories have a matching *ZIP.BAT that packages the result tree
under SYS:. After that, include a recent server log from Linux, for example:
sudo ./mars_packtest_v3.sh slststa 5 mario
Use the test-specific README for exact ZIP names and any Linux-side collector steps.
Current high-level status
Recently green comparison tests:
CREATOR readback
FLAG
FLAGDIR
GRANT
NDIR
REMOVE
REVOKE
RIGHTS
SLIST logged-in and logged-out
WHOAMI
LOGIN/LOGOUT are covered by the maintainer baseline. MAP still needs a full
PUBLIC\MAP vs Novell comparison beyond the current baseline/semantics test.
