a) the current XMSSwap variant works anywhere.

b) the resident part, if running programs, is basically independent
of any 186+/386+ optimizations (there are no 286+ optimizations)

c) it's build with TC2 which doesn't know about 386

d) noone is using CALL /S anyway

conclusion: use and distribute XMSSWAP, compiled for 8086

people who desperately want CALL /S may download and compile
there own freecom
