Where to commit?

[Brandon Turner]

I have interesting in working on the following programs:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\tree.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\gettype.exe(win2k3)
C:\WINDOWS\system32\findstr.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\w32tm.exe
and if I'm feeling extra fiesty maybe C:\WINDOWS\system32\osk.exe

Now my question is where i should put these, rospapps or maybe 
reactos\subsys\system\ ?

Nah, James, they are core apps.

reactos\subsys\system for now.

Does an implementation of tree exist in the ReactOS sources already?  I 
was looking through the online svn sources but did not see one.  If so, 
could someone point me in the correct direction.  If not, have you 
considered the FreeDOS one (in particular pdTree [aka FreeDOS tree v4], 
http://www.darklogic.org/fdos/projects/tree/ )?   I am not claiming it 
is a particularly great implementation, but it is maintained and should 
be fully compatible with MS one, plus current version on NT has some 
extras (see http://help.fdos.org/en/hhstndrd/tree.htm for full usage).

On a related note, are there any other FreeDOS utility programs that 
would be useful / considered for inclusion with ReactOS (as win32 binaries)?

Thanks,
Jeremy

No, we dont have a tree.exe at this time.  Our cmd is taken form FreeDOS 
but has since become out of sync with theirs, from what i can tell the 
last time it was in sync was 1999ish.  I will look at their sources and 
see what if it can be used. If I can use it then i need to treat it like 
WINE stuff and do a vendor drop with it?  Any other devs have a problem 
with this?

Our cmd at ground are base on FreeDOS
But we can not use there code. We need
rewrite it or adaptit alot to NT. For we do not
using djgpp (gcc dos compilier) the headers are
diffent. and we do not usimg INT to call on stuff
DOS does. FreeDOS are dos direcly access the
hardware. And in UM u can not access the hardware
direcly. and most of freedos tools doing INT (
Direcly access the hardware).

Just to be clear, although I am referring to FreeDOS utilities, I am 
talking about win32 pe executables, not DOS executables.  I am also 
aware some ReactOS programs (such as cmd) have roots in FreeDOS 
utilities, but are very different now.  My question is more to get an 
idea of what if any others would be of interest, which depending may 
require only minor work (which may already be planned as we are moving 
to OpenWatcom as our primary compiler) to recompile as Win32 programs. 
I also understand that for some or even all it may instead be desirable 
to write one from scratch (or existing win32 fragments) to take 
advantage of NT features, be more like NT's versions (eg format), or 
simply due to desire for a more compact/cleaner/etc version that uses 
the win32 api directly instead of compiler functions (eg using 
FindFirstFile instead of findfirst).

Thank you.  If you do decide to use my tree version, is it safe to 
assume you [ReactOS developers/users] would prefer using resource files 
for translations instead of the FD way of using cats message files?
