cabextract 0.6 - a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files.
(C) 2000-2002 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net>
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft use to
distribute their software, and things like Windows Font Packs. The
cabextract program simply unpacks such files.
For more information, see http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php3
or run the command 'cabextract --help'.
Example usage:
Extracting files from a cabinet file:
$ cabextract wibble.cab
Extracting files from an executable which contains a cabinet file:
$ cabextract wibble.exe
[cabextract will automatically search executables for embedded cabinets]
Extracting files from a set of cabinet files; wib01.cab, wib02.cab, ...:
$ cabextract wib01.cab
[cabextract will automatically get the names of the other files]
Extracting files to a directory of your choice (in this case, 'boogie'):
$ cabextract -d boogie wibble.cab
[cabextract will create the directory if it does not already exist]
Listing files from a cabinet file:
$ cabextract -l wibble.cab
