   I don't know yet.   
      
   I'm guessing that Drive Space that's included with Windows 98 has an   
   artificial limit and will refuse to create compressed drives on FAT-32.

   What file system is on your Zip disks?  Can you create the compressed   
   image there?

   I'm not familiar with JAM.   
      
   What OS are you running?  (If you're using JAM and JAM isn't compatible   
   with '98, you probably aren't running '98.  At least on the machine in   
   question.)
