DESCRIPTION
cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the
Microsoft cabinet file format (.cab) or any binary file

in .exe files).
cabextract will extract all files from all cabinet files
specified on the command line
To extract a multi-part cabinet consisting of several
files, only give the first file as an argument to cabex
tract as it will automatically look for the remaining
files.
