drivespace 3

[anna]

my husband sent me floppy disks from iraq with pictures on
them. He compressed them using windows98, a program called
DriveSpace3. I am running windowsXP. Is there a program i
can use to open or uncompress these files.
This is the exact message i get when i try to open them.

This disk was compressed usingDriveSpace 3, which requires
windows98.To use this disk you must first mount it. To
mount it:
1. run drive space by choosing run from the windows98 start
menu, and then typing DRVSPACE.
2. In drive space, click the drive that contains this disk,
click the advanced menu,and then click mount.
(if this file is located on a drive other than the physical
drive that contains the disk, then the compressed drive is
already mounted.)

To automatically mount all available compressed disk
drives, click the advanced menu,click settings, and then
check the "automatically mount new compressed drives" box.
IMPORTANT:
To mount and use this compressed disk you must be running
windows98.



Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
