Win98 tells us the version of DOS: 4.10. (You can confirm this by typing
VER at the command line.)

In other words, it's blank. Incidentally, I take "*** DO NOT EDIT THIS
FILE! ***" as an invitation to edit the file (e.g. delete the obviously
superfluous parts) -- and I thought such an attitude was normal for a Xy user.

In other words, FILES=100 (This is a rather high number. Unless you
really need 100, you may be wasting memory.)

For Win98, I'd suggest:

DOS=UMB,HIGH
DEVICE=C:\WIN\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WIN\EMM386.EXE [plus parameters]
BUFFERS=40,0
FILES=40

Adjust C:\WIN according to the location of these files (most likely
C:\WINDOWS). My own parameters for EMM386 happen to be RAM WIN=F500-F7FF
WIN=F100-F4FF but for more about this you should see
