Thanks for all the input. Looks like using some built-in Windows
functionality did the trick . . .

Subject: Fw: [TRLog] Conventional memory and FAT32
We're set - thanks for the suggestions, fellas! Using F8 to boot into step
by step mode with the floppy we set up nets us smartdrv and 637K of free
memory on the Win98 machine. With our ARRL DX CW file that was nearly out
of memory, we now have 69K of space - I'll just use that technique for now
at least - thanks again!
