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

SLSTSTA - SLIST baseline test

Novell-only baseline for SLIST behavior.

Runs NPUBLIC\SLIST with:

  • no argument
  • MARS as expected existing server
  • NWBYGONE01 as expected missing-server/negative test
  • /CONTINUE variants
  • /? usage output

Results are written to F:\SLSTCMP. Optional packaging is done with SLSTZIP.BAT.

D99_HELP.OUT is intentionally simulated with:

Usage: SLIST [Server] [/Continue]

Reason: the Novell SLIST /? help text was observed on the console, but it does not reliably land in the redirected output file. Later, our implementation should run SLIST /? > D99_HELP.OUT, and this simulated Novell baseline gives us a stable file for comparison.
