Hi Randy,
You can open and save it with FontCreator. This process will convert a PostScript based OpenType font to a TrueType based OpenType font. That should work with Windows 98. Do keep in mind such a conversion will loose all hinting data.

Another Way
I still like the most direct route of changing an OTF to TTF is to simply Rename the file to .ttf (Arial.otf --> Arial.ttf)
This works for me, but I'm using XP which may cover up some deficiencies in this approach...
