This utility is provided to extract one or more files from the "Cabinet" archives on the Win 95 CD-ROM. This would generally only be done if it was suspected that an installed file was corrupted in some way.
Syntax:
EXTRACT [/Y] [/A] [/D | /E] [/L dir] cabinet [filename ...]
EXTRACT [/Y] source [newname]
EXTRACT [/Y] /C source destination
| cabinet | Cabinet file (contains two or more files) |
| filename | Name of the file to extract from the cabinet. Wild cards and multiple filenames (separated by blanks) may be used. |
| source | Compressed file (a cabinet with only one file). |
| newname | New filename to give the extracted file. If not supplied, the original name is used. |
| /A | Process ALL cabinets. Follows cabinet chain starting in first cabinet mentioned. |
| /C | Copy source file to destination (to copy from DMF disks). |
| /D | Display cabinet directory (use with filename to avoid extract). |
| /E | Extract (use instead of *.* to extract all files). |
| /L dir | Location to place extracted files (default is current directory). |
| /Y | Do not prompt before overwriting an existing file. |
Example
To extract the arial font file from the Win95 CD (on drive X:) to the current directory where the host CAB file is not known:
Extract x:\win95\win95_02.cab arial.ttf /A
Exit Codes:
| 0 | No errors occured.
If the source file was found and there was no file of the same name in destination, it was extracted;
if the source file was found and there was a file of the same name in destination, it was or was not copied as the user required;
no source file was found in the specified CAB file; or
EXTRACT was terminated by Ctrl-C before normal completion. |
| 1 | The source CAB file couldn't be opened/located. |
