driver for flash drive pen

RAR is an archive filetype, like ZIP. WinZip and several other archiving
applications will open RAR files. What you do is extract the files within,
to see what you've got and for Windows to use them.

Either of these apps will open RAR files, which are a compressed file similar to a
ZIP file:

XAce Plus:
http://www.winace.com/xaceplus.html

WinRar:
http://www.rarlab.com/

I use the free XAce Plus.

Let us know if the driver works once you get it unpacked and installed. If not,
there is an unofficial universal driver for Win98SE that I have had very good luck
using on a number of systems.

Winzip doesn't open RAR files, at least not up to the version I currently use:
WinZip 9.0 SR-1

I use XAce Plus for RAR files.

I'll be darned! If that's so (he says while scrambling to find a RAR file on
either of his two computers), how the heck have I been opening them all
these years? (Can't find a RAR file.)

ConversionsPlus, which I have installed due to the number of Mac files I
need to mess with? (OK, I'll make a new txt file, rename it to test.rar and
see what I can do with it. Nuthin'!) No, not that either.

I'm stumped.

I don't normally reply to folks that posted from forums that interact with
the MS NGs but...

http://www.7-zip.org/

That doesn't allow one to package in .RAR format but you can use it to open
them.

To the OP: Just a guess but it'd be my guess that any USB drivers for 98
should do the trick and, unfortunately, 98 doesn't come with any USB drivers
on its own if I recall correctly? I think they either came with ME or 98se
first. Poking around various driver sites (driverguide.com for instance)
should find your USB drivers and enable you to use the thumb-drive which
would (should?) appear just as another drive in windows explorer without any
fanfare. Hmm... Maybe I need to load up a 98 VM one of these days to see how
much I've forgotten?

Not quite that simple in Win98SE, but this driver has been adapted and I have had
very good results with it (Win98SE only):
