I have a dual boot win98/ win2k PC and I bought a new Brother Color
Laser HL 4070cdw. I mostly print from win 2k but I have one old dos
dased program that I need to print from occasionally. There is no
driver from Brother for Windows 98. I tried setting it up as "generic"
printer except I don't have my win98 disk any more to install the
generic driver. Is there an answer to this? Windows 98 won't even read
the files on the CD that comes with the printer. Any ideas?

The 4070 has drivers for Win2000 and up only: http://tinyurl.com/yuduyw
Anyway, the DOS program doesn't really need a Windows printer driver.
If you'll connect it to the parallel port and the DOS program is
actually producing PCL print jobs (which are supported by that
printer), it should work.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have to run the DOS program on the
W2K disk. Most of the DOS programs can work on W2K (and following)
without troubles.
