Don't you think it's time you learn what Drive Space
really is, and then just tell the people "it can't be
done" in Windows XP? Why always shuffle them off to
links, which you obviously have NOT read, which have
nothing to do with Drive Space?

There is NO way to access these in Windows XP!

Windows XP does not support drivespace. You need find a machine
(friend, work, etc...) running Win98 and copy them to an uncompressed disk

Windows 98,

I was wondering the same thing about those links myself. I couldn't see
what they had to do with drivespace. Glad to know that I'm not going
completely crazy

Hell! For 2 weeks after tens of thousands of people had downloaded SP1 from
the Windows web site, Carey was adamantly telling people that "it's not the
official version" (-:

However Floyd Judy should note that if the files are too large to
fit on a standard floppy, he (she?) *can* use compression
technology other than Drivespace (such as zip) to make them fit.
Windows XP can read zipped files without a problem.
