                           =======================

                           |  SVARCOM TODO LIST  |

                           =======================

Below is a loose list of things that I'd like to implement within SvarCOM.

==============================================================================

BEFORE NEXT RELEASE:

pipes redirections

basic BAT support (without workflow controls, FOR loops etc)

rmod: should have a proper PSP (copied from transient COMMAND.COM), then

      call setPSP to let DOS know the new process ID.

      instead of calling "terminate", rmod should free COMMAND.COM's PSP and

      its environment block. No need to fiddle with int22 handlers then.

AT SOME LATER TIME:

translations should be cached in rmod-owned memory

if translations reloading fails, do not retry after every command

stdin redirection: command < file.txt

DIR: /A

DIR: %DIRCMD% support

DIR: /O

DIR: /S (must use multiple DTAs recursively)

COPY: /V

command-line variables resolution (cd %MYDIR%)

storing rmod in a buffer that can be usefully reused once rmod is installed.

ctrl+break handler: http://www.techhelpmanual.com/563-int_23h__ctrl_break_exit_address.html

"notify pending command" int support: http://www.techhelpmanual.com/741-int_2fh_ae00h__notify_pending_command.html

INT 2F,AX=5500 support

stdout redirection should not create the output file if command fails

COMSPEC self-setting does not work under MS-DOS 5/6 (no exepath in env block)

when execing an external command make sure to sync local environment (or run the program with a custom environment pointer?)

dynamic resizing of environment space

single-stepping AUTOEXEC with F8 at boot time (/Y)

skipping AUTOEXEC with F5 at boot time (/D)

CTTY

LOADHIGH/LH

advanced batch files support:

 - CALL

 - :labels

 - FOR

 - GOTO

 - IF EXIST

 - IF ERRORLEVEL

 - SHIFT
