Hermès Bélusca-Maïto ae649656db [CMD] RMDIR: Improve some aspects of the /S option.
- First, the option and the APIs called by it can work directly on
  paths relative to the current directory. So there is no need to
  call GetFullPathName(), with the risk of going over MAX_PATH if the
  current path is quite long (or nested) but the RMDIR is called on a
  (short-length) relative sub-directory.

- Append a path-separator (backslash), only if the specified directory
  does not have one already, and, that it does not specify a current
  directory via the "drive-root" method, e.g. "C:" without any trailing
  backslash.

- In case there are errors during deletion of sub-directories or
  sub-files, print the error but continue deleting the other sub-dirs
  or files.

- Monitor the Ctrl-C breaker as well, and stop deleting if it has been
  triggered.

- When removing file/directory read-only attribute, just remove this
  attribute, but keep the other ones.

- When deleting the directory, first try to do it directly; if it fails
  with access denied, check whether it was read-only, and if so, remove
  this attribute and retry deletion, otherwise fails.

- When recursively deleting a drive root directory, ultimately resolve
  the dir pattern and check whether it's indeed a drive root, e.g.
  "C:\\", and if so, just return success. Indeed, calling
  RemoveDirectory() on such drive roots will return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
  otherwise, but we want to succeed even if, of course, we won't
  actually "delete" the drive root.

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.
