   Workaround for AppZip/Win98 not working

   Hi!  I used to have a Win98SE minitower at my mother's house whose hard drive   
   was very small: even though the size was a little more than 20GB, only 2.1GB   
   worked.  :(  I had a program on it called AppZip.  It's a way to keep   
   applications compressed and    
   decompress them temporarily upon access.  It didn't work on that computer.    
   :(  So, I used batch files to do the job.  They used 7Zip.  They worked.  :)    
   Recently, I got a new Win98SE minitower for free. :)  I didn't need them   
   anymore.  The old minitower    
   is still there but is disconnected.  I have a Zip disk with some stuff I   
   extracted from the old computer's hard drive but don't think the batch files   
   are on that disk.  :(  BTW, I used Template Creator for Windows to create the   
   new batch files.
