True. He may have better luck running a lite Linux distro:

How'd you locate these? Yahoo? Google? Distrowatch? If DW, how many versions
did you have to read through?

It's just from my own browsing around the 'Net over the past few
months plus burning a few CD-Rs for testing. (But I'm not *nix-savvy
at all.) So I didn't have to look too far, I'm naturally inclined to
"lighter" distros. (I'm more savvy re: FreeDOS than anything, though.)

A) Shouldn't expand.exe to extract .cab's for MS-DOS be on the install disks
for Win95?

Possibly, yes. But I was just telling you what I know (since some
people are always having trouble with unpacking .CABs).

B) For Windows, couldn't he use 7-Zip to extract .cabs?

Only the actual 7-Zip file manager supports unpacking .CAB, not the
cmdline version (e.g. 7ZA). But I don't use that, I use IZarc. (I
should also try PeaZip eventually, it sounds nice.)
