Hi! SvarCOM has a completely different code base than FreeCOM and is under a different license (MIT). It implements a bare minimum MS COMMAND.COM compatible shell (not sure if it is 100% compatible, but I am not aware of anything that is missing). It does not support things like extended command line editing features (command history etc.) or extended internal commands. But at least the command line history can be enabled by using the one built into the EDR-DOS kernel (config.sys statement HISTORY=ON).
FreeCOM has more "features", but may be less compatible to the original MS COMMAND.COM than SvarCOM. At least there are some batch files not working correctly under FreeCOM, like [1]. That's it more or less from a user perspective, not taking memory considerations into account.
