Cruel and King Tut's Tomb card games

I've just purchased a new computer with Windows XP. On my old Windows 98
computer, we had the card games Cruel and King Tut's Tomb. Can I just copy
the software to my new computer? I doubt it but maybe there is a way to get
these card gaes for Windows XP. Can any one help me? My wife loves them
immensely.

Do you have the original disk with the setup program? That's the cleanest
route.

However they *may* work by copying them to the new one, or they might not.
A lot of programs need specific files placed in the system directory and
registry keys entered which is done by a setup program.

Why not just try it?

IIRC they should each fit on a floppy. They may need specific dlls (or
versions of - eg cards.dll - in which case I'd stick them in the same
directory you create as opposed to anything in C:\Windows). I'm pretty sure
these can be got off the Web for free (and legit), and there are sources for
the dlls. Don't think they had installers, were just zipped up.
