Major changes for the System Tools Library are recorded here.
For more details about changes in a particular area, see the README.txt and/or NEWS.txt file in each subdirectory.
- dirsize.exe: Major restructuration, to avoid failures in directories with > 200,000 files.
Abort the operation and return to the initial directory when the user presses Ctrl-C, even in DOS.
- */NMakeFile: Adapted for use with the redesigned NMaker system.
- C/syslib/configure: Define macro UNUSED_ARG() in config.h.

- Batch/Library.bat: Fixed :GetServerAddress, and added optional arguments -4 and -6.
- Batch/regx.bat: Fixed a failure to open regedit.exe at a given key on non English systems.
- dirc.exe, redo.exe: In the debug version only: A buffer was used after free() while displaying a return comment.
- dirsize.exe: In case of memory allocation error, a reallocated buffer may be used incorrectly, leading to further errors.

- chars.exe:
- Added support for UTF-8 bytes codes on the command line.
- Added support for doubly encoded UTF-8 chars on the command line.
- In Windows, added option -8 as a synonym for -c 65001.
- In Windows, display both the current code page character code and the Unicode code point.
- In Windows, display the Windows code page instead of the Unicode block name for non Unicode character ranges.
- Fixed character ranges which in some cases output all characters as �.
- C/SRC/clean, C/SRC/make: Use SysToolsLib's Shell/distrib script to identify the processor.
- C/SysLib/GetConSize.c: Fixed building GetConSize.c termcap version, and simplified the tput version using popen().
- C/Makefile, C/SRC/Makefile:
- Create the links bin -> ../bin -> ../../bin.
- Fixed a failure to link with the termcap library.
- C/SysLib/GetConSize.c: Removed debug code left in by mistake.
- C/SysLib/GetConSize.c: Fixed building the termcap version, and simplified the tput version using popen().
- C/Makefile & C/SRC/Makefile: Create the links bin -> ../bin -> ../../bin, and fixed a failure linking with the termcap library.
- Moved GetScreenRows() and GetScreenCols() from dirc.c and dump.c to SysLib,
and renamed them as GetConRows() & GetConCols().
- BiosLib: Added a minimalistic realloc() routine.
- LoDosLib: Added intdos() as an alias for _intdos(). Together these changes allow building several C tools for LODOS: chars.com, macros.com, smbios.com, uuid.com.
- codepage.exe: Fixed the localized codepage names output in non-US versions of Windows.
- Shell/echoargs: Reverted to using Bourne Shell capabilities only.
Fixes problems with Mac OS 12, and also makes the output more readable.
- Batch/Library.bat: Added system and user environment variables management routines.
- Tcl/TclSetup.bat: Fixed a failure to read default registry keys in Windows French.
Fixed a failure to broadcast system environment variables changes. - Python/PySetup.bat: Fixed a failure to read default registry keys in Windows French.
- in.exe and with.exe: Fixed command-line quoting and escaping issues in DOS & Windows versions, by copying the actual command line instead of rebuilding it. Also moved that code into new SysLib routine DupArgLineTail(), and moved CondQuoteShellArg() to SysLib.
- Batch/IpCfg.bat:
- Fixed the language detection to find the current display language, instead of the install language as before.
- Fixed the Wi-Fi adapters detection in French.
- More generally, fixed all non-ASCII signatures detections.
- Batch/Library.bat: Improved the lappend performance, and added a version supporting multiple values to append.
- Python/pip.bat: Added options -u & -U to upgrade pip & all packages resp.
- chars.exe version 2.0:
- Breaking change: Added support for multiple ranges, and removed option -u.
- Detect the current character set in DOS.
- Added option -q to display the character, but not its code.
- Added support for Unicode blocks:
- Added the complete list of Unicode 15 blocks.
- Added option -b to list the known blocks.
- Allow displaying a block by name or partial name.
- Display the block name in verbose mode for individual characters.
- Renamed stristr() as strcasestr(), and moved it from SysLib to MsvcLibX.
- chars.exe:
- For single characters, display the UTF8, UTF16 & UTF32 encodings.
- Restructured to allow displaying any set of characters, with the character code provided in several possible formats.
- Also allow passing or dumping a single character instead of a code.
- chars.exe version 1.7:
- Added support for any system locale in Unix, even if non-ASCII.
- In Windows, set the code page using new option -c/--cp.
- BiosLib: Added a set_cursor_position() routine.
- SysLib: Added an OS-independent SetCursorPosition() routine.

- C/SysLib/GetCurPos.c: Fixed the DOS version and made pointer arguments optional.
- Fixed many Shell scripts compatibility with FreeBSD & MacOS.
- Added a config.h file, automatically generated for each target OS.
- This fixes a bug for DOS builds: DOS.mak now stores the HAS_SDK_* definitions in that new config.h, instead of passing them on the CC command line. Then DOS.mak prepends a #include <config.h> at the beginning of all C/C++ sources that don't have one, before compiling them. This fixes the MSVC 1.52c "Out of memory" errors we got when the command line PLUS the PATH and INCLUDE variables were too long. (~512 bytes total?)
- This also allows to automatically configure variables in Unix builds, reporting the presence or absence of optional features and libraries.
- Added a GetCursorPosition() routine in SysLib, with versions for DOS, Windows, and Linux.
- chars.exe: Output columns are now correctly aligned when outputing to the console, even after characters that do not move the cursor. (Uses the new GetCursorPosition() to detect when the cursor did not move, and outputs an extra space in that case.)
- LODOSLIB: Added C library routines intdos() and isatty().
- in.exe version 1.0: New
inprogram, to execute a command in a given directory, then come back. - with.exe version 1.0: New
withprogram, to execute a command with specific environment variables. - echoargs: Unix script, equivalent to Windows' echoargs.bat and echoargs.ps1, to display a list of arguments.

- update.exe: Make sure the -R option displays the timestamp changes done.
- Which.exe: Corrected the help message in the Unix version.
- C/SysLib/oprintf.h: Fixed oprintf compilation in FreeBSD.
- *.exe, cfdt.tcl, umountw.bat: Removed my old HPE email address in all help messages, and factored-out the info.

- cfdt.tcl: Changed the default --m2n name prefix separator from "_" to " ".
- AddPaths.bat: Fixed the operation when installed in C:\Program Files.
- C/MsvcLibX: Added routine getline().
- C/include/valueize.mak: Convert a macro to its current value, working around the absence of NAME:=VALUE simply expanded macro definitions in nmake.
- trim.exe version 2.1.4: Removed the line size limitation.
- whichinc.exe version 1.4.1: Removed the line size limitation.
- zap.exe version 1.6.1: Removed the piped input line size limit.

- whichinc.exe version 1.4:
Search the next include file when finding an MsvcLibX MSVC_INCLUDE_FILE() or UCRT_INCLUDE_FILE() macro.
Added option -q to avoid displaying minor errors, etc.
Display less information by default, and move the rest to the verbose and debug modes. Make sure all paths are displayed with \ in DOS/Windows. - macros.cpp: Added (but left compiled-out) an experiment on how to display macro values at compile time.
- C/*: Numerous tweaks and fixes for BIOS/LODOS/DOS builds compatibility.
- zap.exe: Added the ability to get the list of pathnames to delete from stdin.
- C/include/LODOS.mak: New make "OS=LODOS" option, for generating executables that only use the LoDosLib and BiosLib libraries. The advantage compared to pure BiosLib-based program (ie. MINICOM programs) is that the standard output can be redirected.
- C/include, C/BiosLib, C/LoDosLib: Many changes and additions to support generating BIOS, LODOS, and DOS versions of
the same program without conditional compilations in its source.
Low Dos builds (previously called minicoms) also are builds for MS-DOS, but only using the LoDosLib & BiosLib libraries.
This allows building smaller executables for DOS, when size is critical, for example on floppy disks.
This also allows building DOS device drivers and TSRs, which are incompatible with the MS C library for DOS.
- cpuid.exe: Fixed the DOS version output which could not be redirected, by making sure it actually builds as a LODOS app.
- cpuid.exe: Added a WIN64 version. Added option -c to manually test one CPUID call. Rewrote support for cpuid(0x0B), now superseded by cpuid(0x1F). Added many new feature bits definitions. Added the short alias for each feature bit. Don't display a computed processor name if we have the brand string. Use debug and experimental features in debug builds only. Restructured main() to use action flags and subroutines. Added options -a, -f, -n, -t to invoke individual actions. Added option -q to query if a given feature or feature set is available. Added option -ls to list supported feature sets. Decode leafs 4, 16H, 17H, 18H, 1AH. Display the reserved feature bits that are set. Streamlined the output in non-verbose mode; Additional details in verbose mode. Option -w alone calls DisplayWmiProcInfo().
- cpuid.exe: Fixed the extended family and model calculations and display. Fixed a bug displaying the measured frequency in DOS.
- junction.exe: Added option -t, modifying options -l and -r, to list all types of reparse points, and displaying their type.
- encoding.exe: Added option -b to report the presence of a Unicode BOM with a B suffix.
- C/SRC/macros.cpp: Output valid #define directives, to match Unix compilers (and now MSVC 16.8+) built-in abilities.
Added a help screen, and a -V (get version) option.
Fixed warnings in MS-DOS and MacOS LLVM builds. - C/Include/.h, C/SysLib/.h,.c,.cpp: Changed the encoding to UTF-8, and added a Unicode BOM to C/CPP sources.
- C/Include/DOS.mak: Generate localized C sources only once for all DOS builds. This is faster, and also resolves the case of CPP sources including other CPP sources with a UTF-8 BOM.
- C/SysLib/IsSwitch.c, C/SysLib/mainutil.h, C/SRC/.c: Factored IsSwitch() out of C/SRC/.c, and moved it to a new module in SysLib.

- C/MsvcLibX/*: Additional fixes for support for paths > 260 characters for dirsize.exe.
- C/SRC/dirsize.c: Added support for paths > 260 bytes in Windows 10 with the registry opt-in enabled. But it's still broken in Windows <= 8, and in Windows 10 if the registry opt-in has not been enabled.
- */configure.bat, */make.bat: Work around a cmd bug that broke the cmd windows title.
- C/include/src2objs.mak: Changed the output file name to $(PROGRAM).objects. This fixes the bug which caused libraries to be rebuilt even if no source had changed.
- C/Include/*: Changed the default output dir to bin instead of .
- C/Include/*.mak: Added rules to build DLLs.
- */configure.bat, */make.bat: Added a search in the PATH, to be forward-compatible. Added the :CheckDir subroutine to search consistently.

- C/SRC/zap.c: Remove files, without complaining if already absent.
- C/SRC/rd.c: The help screen was displayed twice.
- C/MsvcLibX/*: Fixed several serious bugs that broke support for paths > 260 characters. (It worked for file names that passed the threshold, but not for directory names that did :-() Now tested extensively with deeply nested paths up to 400 characters, and with the new md.exe and rd.exe tools.
- C/SRC/md.c: Create a directory, all its parents, and don't complain if any exists. The verbose mode displays the list of directories actually created, possibly empty.
- C/SRC/rd.c: Remove a directory, without complaining if already absent. The force mode removes all contents. The no-exec mode allows testing what would be deleted. The verbose mode displays the list of all files and directories actually removed, possibly empty.
- C/SRC/zap.c: Remove files, without complaining if already absent.
- Batch/regx.bat: Fixed the set -t option.
- Tcl/sml.tcl: Fixed several bugs exposed by the libxml2 test suite.

Improved the debug and error reporting.
Added option -q|--quiet.
- C/Makefile, C/SRC/Makefile:
make installnow verifies that $bindir is in the PATH.
make checknow checks if $bindir is in the PATH.
Make sure the installed scripts are executable. - Batch/12.bat: Removed the -A options as the filters are now fixed. Instead, temporarily change to the system's default ANSI codepage.
- C/include/*.mak: Bugfix: The help target did output a "1 file copied" msg.
- C/NMakefile: Added a help target overrifing the one in All.mak.
- Batch/regx.bat: Fixed the type command output.

Renamed IO_REPARSE_TAG_LXSS_SYMLINK as IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK.
Added several other missing reparse tags, and decode them in debug mode.
- Tcl/cfdt.tcl: Display the list of files processed, to monitor progress.
- Tcl/cfdt.tcl: Do not display help if wildcards produce 0 names.
- Batch/PySetup.bat: A tool for configuring *.py scripts to use one of the Python interpreters available.
- C/SRC/asInvoker.manifest, asInvoker.rc: Default manifest to use for WIN95 and WIN32 builds.
- C/SRC/conv.c, detab.c, lessive.c, remplace.c, update.c: Display MsvcLibX library version in DOS & Windows. This allows tracking new builds with updated libraries, when the tools C sources have not changed. The help still displays the main program version only, to limit the first line size.
- C/include/win32.mak: Use the new asInvoker.manifest by default for WIN95 and WIN32 builds. This allows fixing issues with unprivileged accesses to C:\ or %ProgramFiles% silently redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore...
- C/MsvcLibX/include/string.h: Added a prototype for our modified version of strerror(), avoiding the link warning: LIBCMT.lib(strerror.obj) : warning LNK4006: _strerror already defined in MsvcLibX.lib(strerror.obj); second definition ignored

- C/MsvcLibX/src/dirent.c: Recognize LinuX SubSystem symlinks.
- C/SRC/remplace.c, C/SRC/update.c: The -V option now displays the MsvcLibX library version in DOS & Windows. This allows to see if an executable built from an unchanged source contains bug fixes from a newer version of the MsvcLibX library.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/fopen.c: In case of error, fopen() returned a wrong errno in some cases.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/iconv.c: Fixed fputc() for files in binary mode.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/junction.c: Dynamically allocate debug strings in junction(). This prevents stack overflows in debug mode.
- C/SRC/gpt.cpp, sector.cpp: When listing drives, tolerate missing indexes, as one drive may have been recently unplugged.
- C/SRC/remplace.c: Detect the input encoding, and convert the old and new replacement string to that encoding. This allows replacing non-ASCII strings, whether they come in from a pipe (using the console code page), or from an ANSI or UTF-8 text file.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/main.c: Fixed a bug that caused command-line arguments to be lost in some cases.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/iconv.c: Added missing routine puts(). This fixes a last-minute bug in the 1.8 release, that prevented the (unreleased) debug versions of the programs from displaying debug output.

- C/MsvcLibX/src/realpath.c: Fixed resolution for relative paths.
- C/SRC/codepage.c: A new tool for displaying information about the current and available console code pages.
- C/SRC/update.c: Now includes a workaround for the WIN32 incompatibility with pathnames ending with spaces or dots.
- C/SRC/sector.cpp: Added a dirty workaround for Windows' auto-mount feature, which prevented from copying a full disk image to a blank disk. (As soon as it detects a valid partition table, Windows mounts it, which locks the drive.)
- C/SRC/chars.c: Added an optional code page argument, for displaying characters for a different Windows code page.
- C/include/configure.bat, make.bat: Added support for Visual Studio 2017
- C/include/src2obj.bat, src2obj.mak: Allows declaring SOURCES instead of OBJECTS in Files.mak. Much simpler to use. See example in C/MsvcLibX/Files.mak.
- C/include/All.mak: Use variable DIRS from Files.mak to recurse into all the subdirectories to build.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/open.c: New UTF-8 version of open().
- C/MsvcLibX/src/getpagesize.c: New UTF-8 version of getpagesize().
- Added UTF-8 versions of fputc() and fwrite().
- Added configuration variable IGNORE_NMAKEFILE for dealing with unwanted NMakefile homonyms.
- UTF-8 programs now write 16-bits Unicode to the console. This allows displaying any Unicode character, even if it's not in the current code page. When stdout is redirected to a pipe or a file, the output is still converted to the current code page. This is the same as cmd.exe's own behaviour.
- Redesigned UTF-8 programs initialization. Now compatible with any main() routine declaration, with 0 or 2 or 3 arguments.
- configure.bat and make.bat do not automatically set persistent environment variables with the library paths. This did more harm than good, when dealing with multiple copies of the libraries. It's possible to revert to the old behaviour by defining PERSISTENT_VARS first.
- Many small changes and bug fixes.
- C/SRC/inicomp.c: A tool for comparing .ini or .reg files.
- C/SRC/dict.h, - C/SRC/tree.h: Added the ability to create multimap-like dictionaries, for use in inicomp.c.

- C/include/configure.bat:
- Updated the batch library framework.
- Configure sub-projects recursively by default.
- Added option -R to prevent recursion if desired.
- Fixed displaying the output of sub-instances of this script.
- Avoid duplicate searches of MS tools in sub-instances, and of our own libs in some cases. (Known bug: We're still searching our own libraries multiple times in many cases.)
- Added option -p to request setting persistent library path variables. By default, don't.
- C/include/make.bat:
- Updated the batch library framework.
- Improved the heuristic to detect pseudo-targets that need not be logged. (Ex: clean)
- Added option -q to force running nmake without capturing its output. (Default for pseudo-targets)
- Added option -Q to force capturing nmake output into TARGET.log. (Default for real targets)

- Batch/trouve.bat: Improved output filtering to convert / to \ only in file names, and fixed a few bugs.
- Batch/Library.bat:
- Fixed issues when sourcing this library from another script.
- Changed %EXEC% to not capture commands output by default. Fixes a usability bug: Not %EXEC% without options is fully transparent.
- Batch/Library.bat:
- Added the ability to source Library.bat from another batch script.
- Added routine :Prep2ExpandVars, useful for passing variables across endlocal barriers.
- C/SRC/sector.cpp and gpt.cpp:
- Reformated the source to modern coding standards.
- Improved the partition size formating readability.
- Use the same units (GB, not GiB, etc) for disk and partition sizes.
- Added options -H and -I to control the disk and partition size SI unit.
- In gpt.cpp, added options -t and -x to control the sector number base (10 or 16).
- Added many new partition types.
- Added option -V to display the version.
- C/include/configure.bat and make.bat: Numerous fixes.
- PowerShell/PSService.ps1: Fixed incorrect hyphen.
- Batch/Library.bat:
- %RETURN% failed if an UPVAR value contained a '?'.
- %EXEC% exit code was not displayed correctly when called with expansion disabled.
- %EXEC% failed if commands contained a ^.
- %FUNCTION% incorrectly displayed arguments containing ^!% in debug mode.
- %POPARG% now correctly handles trick characters ^!% correctly in all expansion modes.
- Batch/regx.bat:
- Restructured to fix serious issues if value names or values contained tricky characters like: ^!%
- The -X option now works correctly.
- Enumerating 0 sub-keys in a valid key does not return an error anymore.
- Fixed and improved the way C make files and scripts use the optional OUTDIR.
- C/include/configure.bat: Performance improvements and fixed bugs with very old Visual Studio versions.
- Batch/Library.bat: Updated the recent %EXEC% entry errorlevel fixes to work with %DO% too.
- Updated the make scripts and make files to always reuse the initial script instance, when invoked recursively in subdirectories.
- C/include/configure.bat now has a -r option for recursively configuring every C subdirectory.
- C/include/make.bat now automatically uses the top instance log file, avoiding the need to explicitely use the -L option in recursive calls.
- Clarified "make cleanenv" output: It now displays the actual commands it had to run to cleanup the environment, or nothing if there was no need.
- Batch/Library.bat: Indent sub-scripts output in debug mode.
- Batch/Library.bat: Avoid log file redirection failures in recursive scripts.
- Several make files had the clean target defined twice, which caused a make warning. (Although it did work fine.)
- C/include/make.bat displayed a "file not found" error in recursive makes. (Due to incorrect log file handling in this case.)
- Several configure.*.bat files had the unwanted side effect of creating %OUTDIR%.
- Batch/u2w.bat and w2u.bat: Use remplace.exe new option -st instead of -t.
- Fixed various bugs and added missing inference rules, so that it's now possible to build assembly language programs in 16, 32, and 64-bits modes.
- Added commands del and rd to regx.bat.
- Bugs in configure.bat, make.bat, and library.bat, that sometimes caused build failures in Windows XP.

- C/SysLib/: A directory, with a new System Management library. See the README there for details.
- C/SRC/sector.cpp: Source for building sector.exe, a tool for raw hard disk I/O.
- C/SRC/gpt.cpp: Source for building gpt.exe, a tool for displaying legacy and GPT disk partitions.

- The SysLib library can now be built in Linux, and used in Linux programs.
- Recursive Unix make files in C/, and C/MsvcLibX/, allowing to rebuild all C libraries and tools with a single make command.
Moved debugm.h and all common Windows make system scripts and nmake files to C/INCLUDE.
This avoids having duplicate files in multiple subdirectories.
Added proxy scripts in each subdirectory to avoid having to add C/INCLUDE to the PATH.
- Recursive Windows make files in C/ and C/MsvcLibX/, allowing to rebuild all C libraries and tools with a single make command.
- Debug macro DEBUG_ON() now sets the debug level, and a new DEBUG_MORE() increases it.
Conversely, new macros DEBUG_LESS() and DEBUG_OFF() reverse the previous ones.
All four are usable outside of a DEBUG_CODE() block, and do nothing in release mode.
- Fixed an incompatiility in MsvcLibX with the (very old) Visual Studio 2003.
- Target distclean now removes the
config.*.batfiles output by configure.bat.
- C/*/mak:
- Fixed logging in case an OUTDIR is defined. This resolves the issue doing multiple builds at the same time.
- Use the shell PID to generate unique temp file names.
- C/*/All.mak:
- Updated the fix comparing the WIN95 and WIN32 C compilers.
- Batch/touch.bat: A poor man's touch. Uses touch.exe if available, else uses pure batch.
- Batch/Library.bat: New implementation of routine GetPID.
- Docs/catalog.md: Added missing files, and many examples.
- C make system updates to help making releases.
- C/*/All.mak: Fixed errors comparing the WIN95 and WIN32 C compilers.
- C//.mak:
- Added an OUTDIR variable, to optionally define a different output directory base.
- Display FAILED messages on the console when compilations or links fail.
- C/*/configure.bat:
- Make sure the configure.*.bat scripts are invoked in a predictable order: The alphabetic order.
- Also search for configure.*.bat in %windir% and %HOME%. Allows to globally define your own preferences.
- Added a -o option to set the OUTDIR variable.
(Recommended: In test VMs accessing the host sources, set it in a "%windir%\configure.system.bat" script.)
- PowerShell/PSService.ps1:
- Added a $ServiceDescription string global setting, and use it for the service registration.
- C/MsvcLibX/include/msvclibx.h: Fixed an issue that prevented the RC compiler to use our new derived windows.h.
- C/SRC/*.c: Minor changes to avoid warnings. No functional code change in most cases.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/main.c: Fixed a bug that caused empty "" arguments to be lost in UTF-8 programs.
This affected remplace.exe and redo.exe. - C/*/dos.mak: Fixed an issue that caused double goal definition warnings, for DOS builds of programs that have their own .mak file.
- PowerShell/PSService.ps1: Fixed issue #5 starting services with a name that begins with a number.
- C/MsvcLibX/*: Added a windows.h include file, that includes the Windows SDK's own Windows.h, then add its own UTF-8
extensions. This minimizes changes when converting a Windows ANSI console application to support UTF-8.
Moved several internal derived Windows functions with UTF-8 support to their own module, and made them public in the new windows.h. - C/SRC/conv.c:
- Added the ability to convert a file in-place.
- Automatically detect if the output file is the same as the input file.
- Added several options: -same, -bak, -st
- The help screen now displays the current code pages used in the system.
- C/SRC/*: Fixed several issues that caused build failures in Linux.
- C/SRC/detab.c, lessive.c, remplace.c: Fixed a serious bug that caused a file to be trunctated to 0-length if the output file was the same as the input file. Al three now use the same in-place conversion features created for conv.c.
- C/MsvcLibX/src/realpath.c, C/SRC/truename.c:
- Bug fix: Add the drive letter if it's not specified.
- Bug fix: Detect and report output buffer overflows.
- Convert short WIN32 paths to long paths.
- Resize output buffers, to avoid wasting lots of memory.
- PowerShell/PSService.ps1: Fixed issue #4 detecting the System account. Now done in a language-independent way.
- Added support for C source files encoded as UTF-8 with BOM.
This removes a serious weakness in the previous design, where many C/SRC files contained UTF-8 characters, but no BOM.
Several Windows tools like Notepad incorrectly identified the encoding, and sometimes corrupted the UTF-8 characters.
The change was not trivial, because MS C compilers do react incorrectly when they encounter a UTF-8 BOM:- MSVC 1.5 for DOS fails with an invalid character error.
- Visual C++ for Win32 switches to a 16-bits character mode that we do not want to use.
- Reencoded many sources as fully UTF-8 with BOM:
backnum.c, dirc.c, dirsize.c, driver.c, dump.c, lessive.c, redo.c, remplace.c, truename.c, update.c, which.c, whichinc.c - Significantly improved conv.c. It's options now on par with that of remplace.c.
- Fixed several bugs in make.bat and configure.bat.
- PowerShell/ShadowCopy.ps1
- Extended the 2-day preservation periods for a 4th week.
