Spotted a missing part to the tweak which I made previously to this
module (canonicalising the directory name). Adding this means the
read-only boot sequence (in ResourceFS) works correctly - apart from
a final tweak in !Scrap, to be checked-in shortly.

Version 1.41. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_41'

I didn't break it, but I didn't exactly fix it either. This one works.

If you attempt to AddApp an app which is already within Resources:$.Apps (but not
a subdirectory therein) it would create a stub with circular references, leading
to stack exhaustion. Fixed to take no action in this case (i.e. not to create the
stub).

Untested. Will be required for booting from ResourceFS.

Version 1.40. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_40'

Detail:
  * *Repeat allows for command lines up to 1024 bytes (RISC OS 4+ standard)
    rather than 256 bytes
 * Fixed crash on *Repeat -sort
 * Uses OS_HeapSort32 rather than OS_HeapSort

Version 1.39. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_39'

Detail:
  Extended repeat dir enumeration buffer
  Field failures seen when too many entries in a directory
  It was set to a static buffer for 128 short filename entries.
  Now it'll retry with double the buffer up to 8 times before giving
  buffer overflow
Admin:
  Not tested. Version incremented by 3 to match Castle's version.

Version 1.38. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_38'

Detail:
  The *help message for *Repeat was indicating that 'tail' was a terminal
  symbol in the repeat command's syntax. It is actually a non-terminal
  so should be <tail>.
Admin:
  No code change.

Version 1.35. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_35'

Detail:
Admin:
  tested at castle
  castle added IP


Version 1.34. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_34'

Detail:
  If -stb is supplied to the repeat command (and -tasks is not), it will
  put the first error it encounters into the system variable X$Error (if
  not already set) and then continue execution as normal.
Admin:
  I also updated the CmdHelp file to reflect not only this change, but
  also the -sort switch which was added quite some time ago and to make
  the X command help a little more helpful.

Version 1.33. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_33'

Admin:
  Tested in DB220S Baseline build.

Version 1.32. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_32'

Version 1.31. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_31'

Note the code for Appslot and Appsize is probably sufficiently similar
to allow Appsize to be deleted or aliased with Appslot.

Version 1.30. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_30'

Loadcmos will now only load 240 byte configs on machines <= 370,and
will fault configs if the local Boot$OSVersion doesn't match that
stored at the end of the file,or if the checksum is wrong.
Most of the Loadcmos stuff is stolen from the old bootsequence util of
the same name.
Added 2 new error messages to the Messages file.

Version 1.29. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_29'

Changes from KJB to stop the C99 compiler getting upset about BOOL

Version 1.28. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_28'

Changes from KJB to stop BOOL warnings with C99 compiler

Version 1.28. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_28'

Detail:
  Was defining structs for the block returned from OS_ReadArgs, but used
  bool types for switch arguments. Now that they are 1 byte wide, this was
  causing problems. Now replaced with osbool types, which should remain
  1 word wide.
Admin:
  Not tested.

Version 1.27. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_27'

Admin:
  Might help it build.


Version 1.26. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_26'

Detail:
  The 'X' command has existed for a long while as a transient utility in the
  !Internet application. I have impemented it as a CLI command in this module
  to reduce FS access required to use it. Note: this version of X implements
  the extended functionality of placing any suppressed error message into the
  system variable "X$Error" (if not already set).
Admin:
  Tested on RiscPC.

Version 1.25. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_25'

  Added stripdepnd to the !MkClean file.
Detail:
  You could not install a ram version of this module. Fixed.
Admin:
  Required for Baseline builds.

Version 1.24. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_24'

Detail:
  The !Boot and !Run files which are created in ResourceFS contain a single
  line which will run the counterpart file in the added application. This
  line should really have %*0 on the end so that any parameters passed to
  the application's !Boot and more importantly to the !Run are passed on,
  rather than being lost.
Admin:
  Tested on RO4 RiscPC.

Version 1.23. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_23'

Detail:
  -sort will ensure that the objects iterated over are sorted into
  ascending ASCII order before the iteration. This is important for
  FS like NFS which does not return things in order.
Admin:
  Been used for ages in STB Baselines without problems.

Version 1.22. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_22'

Detail:
  Fails to build with OSLib 6.21 since the prototype for this function
    has been fixed.  I've changed the type of the value to unsigned
    but always cast its address to void* for this API call to preserve
    compatibility with older versions of OSLib (which are broken)
Admin:
  Built on desktop machine.


Version 1.21. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_21'

Detail:
  The Messages and CmdHelp files are now located via LocalRes:
Admin:
  Change makes this module more standard.
  Module no longer requires special changes to support BBE.
  Tested briefly.

Version 1.20. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_20'

  Fixed directory enumerators.
  Removed obsolete assembler sources.
Detail:
  s/main was the output of "cc -S c/main" :-/
Admin:
  Built.

Version 1.19. Tagged as 'BootCmds-1_19'
