Extracting files from .CAB stuff ... In windows, this is fairly easy. In Start/Find, put *.CAB in the file name box, and the name of the file you're wanting to extract in the text box and click the Find Now button. Find should present you with a file or files found. Double click file in Find's box and Explorer will open a window with the contents of this .CAB file, usually in alphabetical order. Drag the file you want to where you want it and the file gets extracted for you. In DOS, or a DOS window, the command you must type is EXTRACT. Since EXTRACT has a few options, begin by typing EXTRACT /? for a list of the possibilities which may apply to your case. Re-type the command using the switches and file specifications you need. Cheers, PW. P.S. The curious may examine the .CAB files they have on their system and discover hidden treasures. Watch for .TXT files since these contain explanations and .EXE files which may perform useful duties. (Be careful with unfamiliar .EXE files!) Next, examine .CAB files on your CDs for additional jems.
