For the purpose of learning, I hereby seek your help in the following:
1. Tools for creating CAB compressed files under DOS and their specific usage methods!
2. Does MSDOS7.1 come with the internal command EXPAND or EXTRACT to extract CAB compressed files?
3. Is the command EXT.EXE the tool EXTRACT for extracting CAB compressed files? What is its usage method: EXTRACT ------- or EXT ------

1. I haven't seen CAB making tools under DOS; only the Windows version has them. Recommend Cabinet manager.
2. YES. It's EXTRACT.
3. EXT is not Extract.exe, but a tool "derived" from Extract.exe, used to facilitate extracting files from Win9x/ME installation files (*.CAB). EXT.exe must rely on Extract.exe, that is, without extract, EXT cannot be used.

I used Microsoft's IExpress to make a CAB compressed file and found that it called the CABINET MAKE program. This program runs in the command window of WINXP. Then, does this program should be able to run directly under pure DOS to make a CAB compressed package? If yes, please tell me how to operate!

I also didn't find a Cab creation tool for the DOS version. I'm using CabManager, and the Cabs it creates can be opened with Microsoft's Extract.

Bart Lagerweij uses the cabarc.exe provided by Microsoft to create cab files. This program is a command-line program and should be able to run in a pure DOS environment. The following is the batch script written by Bart for creating cab files, from which you can find the download address of this program:

Thanks to Climbing's help, I have found and downloaded it in Microsoft, but it's all in English.特此 provide the download link to those who are interested for joint research. Hope experts can localize it into Chinese!

Is it necessary to localize into Chinese? I think if someone thinks they can't do computer work without a Chinese character environment, then they might as well not do computer work.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's Chinese-ized or not, because when entering, it's always entering English. It's just that when running, seeing one's own mother tongue always brings a sense of intimacy.
