    Modified Files:
    docs/v322_new.md exec/CLAUDE.md exec/load/shell_lib.js exec/sdos.js Removed Files:
    text/menu/sdos/files.asc mail.asc root.asc
    Log Message:
    sdos.js: act much more like MS-DOS 5 COMMAND.COM

    Rewrite the DOS Shell's JavaScript port (9451e26955, analyzed-11-alert, 2026-06-23) around a virtual read-only drive C:. The BBS functions are
    programs in C:\, C:\FILES and C:\MAIL, and doors appear as C:\DOORS\<section>\<code>.EXE (with ~1-style 8.3 names for long codes).

    Programs are found the way COMMAND.COM finds them: current directory,
    then each PATH directory, .COM then .EXE then .BAT, or by relative or
    absolute path, with or without the extension. Command lines parse like
    DOS too (CD.., CD\MAIL, DIR/W, ECHO.).

    DIR listings are now generated rather than read from menu files, in the
    DOS 5 layout with MM-DD-YY dates regardless of the user's date format,
    and support wildcards and the /W /B /S /O /L /P /A switches (plus the
    DIRCMD variable). The text/menu/sdos/*.asc files are no longer used and
    are removed.

    Also emulated: SET/PATH/PROMPT (with $-codes) on a per-session
    environment, ECHO (ON/OFF), TYPE, VER, VOL, DATE/TIME, CLS, BREAK,
    VERIFY, CHCP, REM, PAUSE, LH, /? usage for every command, HELP.EXE, AUTOEXEC.BAT (a minimal batch interpreter), nested COMMAND and
    COMMAND /C, and DOS's own errors for writes to a read-only disk
    (DEL, COPY, REN, MD, RD, redirection) and for other drives.

    Fixes from the previous port: MAIL CONFIG ran user settings instead of
    the message scan configuration, DOWNLOAD listed the user-to-user file
    area instead of the current one, LIST ignored its file spec, and OPEN
    with an unknown code threw a JavaScript error. The session's directory, environment and history now survive the shell restart after SETUP, and
    the boot banner appears only once per session.

    shell_lib.js: view_file_info() and view_files() accept an optional
    filespec, used instead of prompting for one.

    Modified Files:
    docs/v322_new.md exec/CLAUDE.md install/install-sbbs.mk
    Removed Files:
    exec/GNUmakefile Makefile
    Log Message:
    Stop building Baja modules during installation

    With the command shells and the FTP client ported to JavaScript, the only
    Baja source left in exec/ is matrix.src, an optional light-bar logon
    module that no stock or default configuration uses. Building it on every install is not worth a makefile of its own, so exec/GNUmakefile and exec/Makefile are removed along with the installer's baja step.

    A sysop who wants matrix.bin can still compile it with the baja utility,
    which is unaffected and still built with the other utilities.
