If you open DE824261.EXE in a hexeditor you'll find that its a "Disk
eXPress Self-Extracting Diskette Image". Dunno if such a thing can be
extracted from Linux.

Probably not, it's only available for dos and os/2, but you may be able
to run it on an emulator.

Also, you could try to make a bootable cd-rom which boots from a dos
floppy image (http://www.bootdisk.com/)
and contains DE824261.EXE and makedisk.bat.
Next, you run makedisk.bat and let it create the floppy.
You probably have to change the script to let it write to B: then, as
the cd floppy image takes A:.

Been waiting for someone to make this simple suggestion:

head on over to http://www.freedos.org and get a copy of a DOS to put on a
floppy and then go from there.......
