On pre-286 cpus, there is no XMS, so no XMS_Swap FreeCOM is suitable. BARE_DOS had KSSF (or VSPAWN, I forget) which allowed "call /s" to save about 100 kb of RAM, IIRC (but resets aliases). Somewhat inconvenient but better than nothing. IIRC, you're using "old" 0.82pl3 anyways (lacking some minor stuff, e.g. DESCRIPT.ION or LFN support).
