Included is a Win95 GUI application designed to convert SFX CAB files (files that you can download from the MicroSoft web or ftp sites) to standard CAB files that can be viewed with the EXTRACT utility included with Windows 95 or the Cab File Viewer Powertoy, included with the freeware package called MS PowerToys. The problem with the self-extracting/self-installing files like MS IE 3.0 is that once you start the file, it will do everything automatically, without giving the user a chance to, forexample, scan the contents for viruses or just look and see what kind of files are included inside. This utility will strip the starting code that extracts the files, leaving you with normal cab file (or at least it should do that). Version 3.1 fixes a few bugs from 3.0.
