<a name="work_with_micorsoft_cab_format"></a>PeaZip offers
read-only support (open and extract cab files) for Microsoft Cabinet
file format, providing a free
alternative utility to open
(list content) and extract .cab packages, or disassemble single files
from the container, under Windows
and Linux operating systems. The software can also be used to convert
CAB files to any other write-supported

<a name="max_size_of_a_cab_file"></a>CAB format is limited
to a max size of 2 GB, 2^31 bytes in size (signed 32 bit integer for
filesize), theoretically a spanned CAB set of files allows up to 2^16
parts of 2 GB maximum size each. To overcome limitations of CAB package
format specifications, Microsoft designed the more modern WIM Windows
