cabextract 0.2 - a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files.
(C) 2000-2001 Stuart Caie <kyzer@4u.net>
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft uses 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

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]

Listing files from a cabinet file:
$ cabextract -v wibble.cab
