         Hello, is extract a program? How is it used?

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.

Moderator: 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.
