129970 2003-03-21 23:20:00 Is there an easy way to locate a file from the windows95 Cd other than searching each cab individually

THanks

129972 2003-03-21 23:42:00 Hi Ray

This site Cabinet Files (DOS/win95/98/Me) (www.modem-help.co.uk) will be of help. Depending on what type your Win95 is, there are links given as well to the appropriate listings of cab file contents at the Microsoft Support site.

129973 2003-03-22 02:41:00 The simplest way is to use the expand (extract ?... I can never remember) programme to make a listing of the cabinet contents. Do a "/?" first, for the options, then redirect the listing to a file in the directory. One option lists all the .CAB file starting with the one you give in the command line. You can then search the listing with notepad. Graham L (2)
129974 2003-03-22 03:07:00 As Graham says use the Extract command.
This is one site that tells you how to do it, it takes a bit of wading through :)

129975 2003-03-22 03:31:00 cd to the directory holding the .CAB files. If it's the CD, ;-) , you'll need to use "C:\cabfiles.txt" where I give"cabfiles.txt"). Then
extract /a /d win95_02.cab > cabfiles.txt

For everything, extract/a /d mini.cab >> cabfiles.txt (NB the ">>" to add to our listing file). and do the same on precopy1.cab and precopy2.cab.
