This document describes a technology that you can use to store multiple files in a single
cabinet ("CAB") file, perform compression across file boundaries, and permit files to span
cabinets. Although existing products such as PKZIP, LHARC, and ARJ support some of these
features, combining all three is not common practice. This technology also supports self-
extracting archives, by simply concatenating a cabinet file to EXTRACT.EXE. For additional information about the CAB file format, also see CAB Technology.
