The newest version of Windows Commander might be able to open cab files. I know that
the 32 bit version does and I would think that the 16 bit would too, but I don't know
for sure.
I'm downloading it now to see. OK, I see CAB support is only in the 32 bit version.
I guess that really doesn't help unless you or somebody else has Windows Commander (32
bit version) and will unpack it for you.

PS: If you still need it unpacked, let me know and I can do it for you and send it
back to you.
