Hermès Bélusca-Maïto 495c82ccde [CMD] Syntax errors during parsing of batch parameters expansion, or FOR and IF commands, are fatal, and batch execution should stop.
- To this purpose use the ParseErrorEx() that correctly sets the
  bParseError flag, and return the partially-parsed command so that
  it gets echoed as well for diagnostics purposes (Windows-compatible).

- Any other parameters specified after (or before) the '/?' switch for
  the FOR and IF commands, are considered fatal syntax errors as well,
  thus we employ the ParseErrorEx() as well.

ReactOS command line interpreter CMD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ReactOS command line interpreter CMD is derived from FreeCOM, the
FreeDOS command line interpreter.

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
~~~~~~~~~
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.

Using rbuild you can compile cmd separately by "make cmd_install".  Also you can compile cmd using MSVC 6 and soon 7/8 hopefully.


Current Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 - environment handling with prompt and path support.
 - directory utilities.
 - command-line history with doskey-like features.
 - batch file processing.
 - input/output redirection and piping.
 - alias support.
 - filename completion (use TAB), both Bash and Windows-CMD style.
