Extract CAB files

[Bob Brown]

In Windows 9x one could use the extract.exe file to extract CAB files. Is
there a similar utility in XP?

In XP you can open any Microsoft .cab file as if it were a folder to see
the content; double click an item to set up extracting it.

This may not apply to .cab files in other formats from third parties -
but then the Win9x extract would not work either

Thanks Bruce, I thought there were some folks in here that were more mature
than PM....

Expand will work just fine from the command line --where I need it.

Thanks again!
