[erlang-questions] extract files from a .CAB archive

[Cameron Kerr]

CAB is not a standard file format, so you shouldn't expect any  
standard library support, especially on Linux. For Linux, there is a  
cabextract command, and Windows has something similar, so it shouldn't  
be difficult to change the command to suit your environment anyway if  
you need to port.
