Same for 2035a - it _called_ unstable (bad name, BTW), but it includes
optimizations, fixes and features. Thus, fixed kernel plus fixed FreeCOM -
very good.

1. MS-DOS-style mean two \0 and 2035a produces two \0.
2. There are no reliable/portable way how to detect if you run from
config.sys. Suggesting empty environment as indicator of INSTALL= is
wrong: you may be called with empty environment at any time. And vice
versa: INSTALL= (now!) may be called with non-empty environment, if there
is menu or SETs in config.sys.
BTW, why FDAPM should suggest INSTALL=?

I already explain all of this for Steffen, but patch from tom was
prepared much earlier.

Wrong. Smartdrv expects \0\0.

Wrong. FreeCOM (was) expects one \0, smartdrv - two \0\0.
