emm386 creates umbs and emulates ems using xms (extended) memory.
So yeah, if you don't need more conventional memory and are using
windows a lot, don't bother with umbs. You may not even need to
keep the dos=high command, either (which tells ms-dos to load parts
of itself, including software code pages if you have them and, if
they'll all fit, the disk buffers, into the first 64K of extended 
memory).

skip emm386 and dos=high.

I don't do ms-dos or windows support anywhere officially anymore.....
microsoft doesn't speak for me and I don't speak for it.
