I just bought an old laptop which has Win 3.1. I'm looking for a utility to
extract CAB files. Thanks.

Use EXTRACT to open them under DOS/Win3.x.

The M$ extract.exe utility from Win95 will extract from a cab file in Win
3.1
Do a google for it or get it here:

usual usage: extract /? to list the switches
or extract "whatever_name".cab *.* to pull out all the files.

I think WinRAR can do so. Not freeware, but nearly full functional.

Thanks, I downloaded the EXTRACT.EXE and that worked well.
