Question about 'Do I still need CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?'

I have a question about Do I still need CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?:

I am running Win98se, and have been trying to load some old DOS programs that I am fond of. Problem is that I have been having to write out config.sys & autoexec.bat lines to give me the necessary conventional memory and extended memory needed to run some of these old games. Thru some research and trial and error, I have constructed these files so that I now have enough conventional memory, but not enough EMS memory. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know of some additional lines that could be added?? I remember back in the days of DOS 6 and Win 3.1 that there was an aftermarket memory manager called QEMM that solved problems like this. Maybe something out there now similar??? Thanks, Buddy
