Known bugs in CMD version 0.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o let set work with or without the '=' sign. People like it that way.
(I don't know, if I should really fix this?)
o command.com ignores control-c and control-break, which makes it difficult
to quit typing a long file, among other things
o "alias v = dir" doesn't work because of the spaces.
o Dymatic commandline buffer need to be implement, current set to 8192bytes
o Batchfile read row size need to be implement as dymatic not set to 2000bytes

ReactOS command line interpreter CMD version 0.1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ReactOS command line interpreter CMD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ReactOS command line interpreter CMD is derived from FreeCOM, the
FreeDOS command line interpreter.
We are going for 4NT compatibility but try to stay compatible with
WinNT's CMD.EXE too.
We are shooting mainly to be just like 2000/XP cmd.exe. They are very close and only a small number(none that i can recall off the top of my head, so maybe 0) differences have been found between those two. It has been reported that ROS cmd.exe does not work on nt4 because of a missing api. I'm hoping to fix this at some point.
Compiling
~~~~~~~~~
Cmd can be built in two different versions. A full version for use under
Windows 9x or Windows NT and a reduced version for use under ReactOS.
ROS cmd used to depend on __REACTOS__ to provide two different ways to build cmd. There is still code left in it for this but... The __REACTOS__ = 0 has not been develped, maintained. And therefore it does not even compile anymore. __REACTOS__ = 1 works fine on both windows(nt). and someday i plan to remove all the __REACTOS__ = 0.
Note: The full version won't run on ReactOS and the reduced version is not
usable under Win 9x/NT.
To build the full version, make sure the symbol '__REACTOS__' is NOT defined
in 'rosapps/cmd/config.h' line 13.
To build the reduced version, make sure the symbol '__REACTOS__' is defined
in 'rosapps/cmd/config.h' line 13.
Using rbuild you can compile cmd seperatly by "make cmd_install". Also you can compile cmd using MSVC 6 and soon 7/8 hopefully.

A lot of commands on failure just spit out GetLastError instead of looking for the real cause. It should give a better output to give at least some kinda clue what is wrong.
*Reg Testing
We need more batch files like the one Royce made for "set /a". What out for if bugs when doing this... could lead to in the wrong direction when looking for a regression.

*Remove dependance on __REACTOS__
__REACTOS__ = 0 doesnt compile and is useless. __REACTOS__ = 1 has been the default and works just fine on windows.

Wishlist for ReactOS CMD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Progress indikator on long file operations (copy/move).
Percentage at the right side of the filename.
- [cd test directory] should change to the subdirectory "test directory".
More ideas?
