Wing Commander question

[Longestpants 1]

Went down to the local Goodwill the other day, looking for an oldish, but more importantly, cheap clock/radio (I'm a sucker for fake wood paneling), when I found something far more interesting; a Wing Commander box set, complete with manual, a Claw Marks mag, and some blueprints of the ships. However, I somehow have the feeling WC V2.6 on floppy might not work on WinXP SP2, especially since it says it's for "IBM-PC and 100% Compatibles". Does anybody know of a proggie I could use to make it work, if this is even possible?

 

Thanks.

And it's most likely to work - I've managed to run dozens of oldies with this. Setting everything up might be a little tricky though.
