How do I mount and use a compressed disk (windows 98) in XP?

[Phillygrl]

I saved a file to a floppy in windows 98 and the file was compressed using
drivespace 3. I copied the file to disk. I now have a new computer which runs
Windows XP and am unable to mount and use the compressed disk because I no
longer have Windows 98. How can I opne the file?

You will have to decompress the file with the same utility as was used to
compress it.. look for somebody who has Win 98..
