I did some quick testing and it seems to run stable for me.
Great work! :-)

I'm glad you appreciate it.

1) SHELL= example in svarcom.txt is missing the /P option
2) RD as an alias for RMDIR is also missing

Fixed and fixed. Thanks.

3) I was unable to run a 2nd copy of SvarCOM by typing "%COMSPEC%" at
the command prompt. That works with FreeCOM. -- Forget this comment as
this is also NOT supported by MS-DOS 6.22 command.com.

I know about this, I consider it a FreeCOM bug. For some reasons FreeCOM resolves %VARIABLES% when they are passed on the interactive command line. MS-DOS never did that, and performs such resolution only within batch files. I decided to implement it in SvarCOM the same way as MS-DOS does it, since I don't really see the advantage of adding such non-standard behavior... It could even be dangerous in some situations, for example if I want to create a file named %HEY%.TXT:

EDIT %HEY%.TXT

In MSDOS I will get a file with this exact name, while FreeDOS will try creating a file named ".TXT" (no filename, only an extension)... or worse, if %HEY% happens to be an existing environment variable.
