SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the Ext.exe program on the Windows 98 Startup disk to
extract files from the Mini.cab, Precopy1.cab, or Precopy2.cab file on
the Windows 98 CD-ROM, you may receive the following error message:
No matching files.
CAUSE
The Ext.exe program does not search these cabinet (.cab) files by
default.
RESOLUTION
To extract a file from the Mini.cab, Precopy1.cab, or Precopy2.cab file
using Ext.exe, type "ext <cabfile>" (without quotation marks) at the
command prompt, where <cabfile> is the name of the cabinet file from
which you want to extract a file. For example, to extract a file from the
Mini.cab file, type "ext mini.cab." You are then prompted for the
location of the Windows 98 .cab files and the name of the file you want
to extract.
