                           =======================
                           |  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
