Hello, I know that Win98 uses a compressed folder called EBD.CAB to reduce file size, and after booting it can still be used freely. I made a boot disk and also want to compress some files in the same way. I am using the CABMAN compression software, but I don't know how to make these files extract automatically at startup and be used freely. Please help answer this.
Thanks

Use extract in autoexec.bat to extract them.

Yes, its usage is as follows:
EXTRACT cabinet
EXTRACT source
EXTRACT /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.

Thanks
