I found UMBINFO.COM useful, but it annoyed me being in German, so I translated it to English. Attached for anyone else interested.
How nobody here has mentioned using 4dos as the command shell.
That was the standard back then for gaming because it could use higher memory and if you had the right video card, could even get you past 640kb free base memory (it was very dodgy and not very usable)
either way 4dos was instrumental at getting some of the more demanding games to work
