Hermès Bélusca-Maïto e1ef078741 Create this branch to work on loading of different Kernel-Debugger DLL providers, and see whether it is possible to move KDBG from ntoskrnl to a new DLL called, say, KDROSDBG.DLL.
The idea then would be to have the following behaviour (when specifying the following options in the kernel command line):

/DEBUGPORT=COMi --> load KDCOM.DLL and use COMi port (i == 1,2,3,4) if possible.
/DEBUGPORT=FOO  --> load KDFOO.DLL (useful for KDUSB.DLL, KD1394.DLL, KDBAZIS.DLL for VirtualKD, etc...)
/DEBUGPORT=ROSDBG:[COMi|SCREEN|FILE|GDB|...] --> load KDROSDBG.DLL which contains the ROS kernel debugger, and use COMi or SCREEN or... as output port.

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 seperatly 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 unix and windows style.
