+cabextract is a program that un-archives files in the Microsoft
+cabinet file format (.cab) or any binary file which contains an
+embedded cabinet file (frequently found 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 cabextract as it will automatically
+look for the remaining files.
