MAKECAB?

But recently I discovered MAKECAB.EXE in my system32 folder. I tried it but I can't figure it out. It's confusin'. Here is what I get for "makecab /?":Code: Select all Cabinet Maker - Lossless Data Compression ToolMAKECAB [/V[n]] [/D var=value ...] [/L dir] source [destination]MAKECAB [/V[n]] [/D var=value ...] /F directive_file [...] source File to compress. destination File name to give compressed file. If omitted, the last character of the source file name is replaced with an underscore (_) and used as the destination. /F directives A file with MakeCAB directives (may be repeated). Refer to Microsoft Cabinet SDK for information on directive_file. /D var=value Defines variable with specified value. /L dir Location to place destination (default is current directory). /V[n] Verbosity level (1..3).I read it but I still just don't get it. BTW, if you want to see an example of making a CAB file with IExpress in Batch, look here.
