[Cialug] WOT: Locating Windows 98 ISOs?

[Nathan C. Smith]

Thanks to all who have responded so far.  The data is actually in a proprietary program and we no longer have access to the installation sources.

I'm hoping to run the program and save the data we need.

It Looks like it is actually plain Windows 98, not 98 SE.

Thank you everyone.

-Nate

Do you actually need to *run* Windows 98?  You should be able to mount the virtual drives from a Linux system and extract the data you need that way.
