1. Create a folder called Archive.zip
2. Copy the files you want zipping into Archive.zip
3. Copy Archive.zip to floppy
4. As Win98 does not have any support for ZIP files download Winzip
from http://www.winzip.com and install it.
5. Copy file from disk to C: on 98 machine
6. Double click file to view files
7. Expand files to bring files out of archive
