FP12 has been solid for me and it corrects some of the problems I had
with 10/11.  I'd suggest skipping those, especially 11, since they
'fixed' the file system WRT the archive attribute on directories -
which promptly broke a bunch of programs.  12 'unfixed' it and all is
well again.  There is something odd about FP12 and winOS2 seamless
sessions but I can't exactly put my finger on what it is - just some
subtle little effect.

If you use Theseus/2 for anything - including the newer Memsize
monitor - get the updated version for Theseus.  Other than that all
seems quite stable.
