I've used Seagate's Win98 version.  Unfortunately, I didn't see
anything about being able to recover the backup from DOS.  I
would use the 32bit version of PKZip, but it won't compact some
of the files that are being used (ie. Win98 files) which defeats
the idea of backing up Win98 so it could replace a corrupted
version from DOS.  Thanks for the suggestion though.
