Those should definitely be renamed into 2036stable and 2037unstable.
We have at least 3 (afair) known serious bugs in 2037 and no fix yet.

386+ and 8086+, fat12/16 and fat12/16/32. You probably do not need
the 8086 fat32 one but it does not hurt either. Well. Only a bit.
That kernel takes a bit more RAM.

There should indeed be a non-xms-swap 8086 freecom 0.84...!
Remember that you should not use xms-swap versions if you
have no xms, as they become memory hogs without xms. The
non-xms-swap versions have call /s to "unload" freecom
while you run a command. Nice for those 8086s...

Just run all programs on the 1.0 distro and see if they either
work or safely refuse to work :-).
