extracts CAB files from self-extracting installers

Orange is a tool and library for squeezing out juicy installable Microsoft
Cabinet Files from self-extracting installers for Microsoft Windows.
It currently supports the following kinds of installers:
* Early support for installers created by Installer VISE.
* Support for some installers created by Inno Setup.
* Early support for the installer used by TomTom products.
* InstallShield versions 5 and 6.
* Setup Factory versions 5 and 6.
* Some other installer (using a DLL called inflate.dll). This is used by
for example Macromedia Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC 2002.
* Microsoft Cabinets (also self-extracting) when you have Cabextract
installed.
* Zip archives (also self-extracting) when you have UnZip installed.

This package contains the binary which can be used to extract CAB files.

what do cab files do and what makes them "juicy" (ive gotten rough with my knowledge of ms wangbutts)

i have a few installers i'd like to pull apart

files packed up and (i hope) compressed

i don't see the point regardless i've seen a ton of installers that are literally an executable that unpacks the cab and one huge-ass cab file and that's it
