Subversion Repositories Kolibri OS

This should be considered an initial port - there will probably be some

bugs and non-functioning features.

The only functionality that has had any real testing is "unzip filename",

anything else is basically untested.

This has been cross-compiled from DOS using Metaware's High C compiler

and the DOS version of pamake (v3.0).  It should compile with the FlexOS

hosted version of HighC, and the makefile could be converted to work

with the native FlexOS make.

The following considerations apply:

)Compiled against and linked with portlib.

)Used on FlexOS 286 v2.32

)Volume labels are not supported - this is due to the way FlexOS decides

 if a drive has case-sensitive filenames based upon the contents of the

 volume label.

)No special handling for case-sensitive media (see above).

)Not using the PORTLIB wildarg routine (i.e., UnZip does its own globbing).

)Based upon the MSDOS port.

)Filenames are in FAT format.

)The current version of getch is a cheat (simply using getchar()).  I

 should interrogate stdin and if it's a FlexOS console use special code

 to turn off echo and just read one char.

)Only the basic MSDOS FAT file attributes are saved/restored.  There is

 currently no support for the FlexOS extended file attributes.

)There is some code that should attempt to do the correct thing when a

 pathspec with a logical name definition is used (e.g., "system:path/to/it");

 however it again has not been stress-tested.

)There is no special handling for floppy drives, there probably should

 be.

)The dateformat is compiled in as DMY (shoot me I'm British),  I'm not

 sure if there is actually a way to get locale info.

)The assembler speedups haven't yet been ported to ASM86 (should simply

 be a change of syntax)
