I found an easier solution. I have a 486sx-20, w/ 4 MB's of memory, and I use 
Windows 3.1 as my primary shell. When I first got Wolf 3d, I couldn't even
run it when I exited Windows due to memory complaints from Wolfenstein. So,
I used the PIF editor, put together a PIF for Wolfenstein that allocated it
224 KB of main RAM, and 300 KB of EMS. After that, I could run Wolfenstein
from Windows with no problems. I even made an icon for it. :-)

Making a PIF for Wolfenstein is a lot easier than stripping your autoexec.bat
file. I think 2 MB should be just enough to do it if you run Windows in
Standard Mode.
