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.

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:
F:\NCPTSTA
Then inspect:
F:\NCMP\COMPARE.LOG
F:\NCMP\SUMMARY.TXT
Optionally pack the results:
F:\NCPTZIP
and upload:
F:\NCMP\NCPTSTA.ZIP
Current matrix
The automated comparison covers:
NCOPY /?NCOPYwith 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
/Ewithout/S
The resulting destination/source state is checked with the already validated
FLAG, NDIR, and RIGHTS tools.
