   I'm not suggesting compressing the entire drive.  I suspect that people   
   would want to do unpleasant things to me for suggesting such.

   I don't think that Windows 98 (or any COMMAND.COM based OS from   
   Microsoft) supports compressing individual programs.  NTFS was the first   
   OS from Microsoft that supported per file / folder compression.   
      
   I'm suggesting doing the following (if you can).   
      
   1)  Create a small (100 MB ~ 1 GB) compressed drive image.   
   2)  Mount it to a drive letter (B:).   
   3)  Install the program to that drive letter (B:).   
   4)  Unmount the cmpressed drive image.   
   5)  Create a batch file that will mount the compressed drive image,   
   start the program, and unmount the compressed drive image.   
   6)  Repeat steps 1-5 for each program.   
      
   So each program lives in a separate compressed drive image.  All of the   
   images live on the system drive, which is itself NOT compressed.
