I am looking for a 'list' of cab sizes. Need to know how many files and what the sizes would be for the different operating systems. Can anyone help?

I don't really understand what you're looking for. Do you want to know the properties of cab files? Is that it? Then you need a zip program. Otherwise like I said you question is a bit vague.

I guess I am looking for a couple of things....first what files are contained in which cab files...for example if I am looking for say a .vxd what file would that be in?

And is there some standard size for cab files for the different wins? If I searched a computer for cab files...how would I know if I am missing one or more files?

I was right before. You need a zip program such as WinZip(shareware at www.winzip.com) or PowerArchiver(freeware at www.cnet.download.com).Both let you look inside cab files. As for your 2nd question there is no way to know if you have missing filesand its not the cab files are the important one rather the files in it.You can run system file checker in Win 98 to see if you have any corrupted files.
