[edit] Non-external link

Why is their an internal link in external links section. It also seems unrelated. I chose to remove it.

• 7-Zip is an LGPL licensed utility that supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB (though it can only create archives in 7z, ZIP, Gzip, Bzip2, and TAR format).

[edit] suggested content

The top google hits and the microsoft FAQ are too cluttered with extraneous detail to be useful to people who only need a quick explanation of these files, so a better summary here would be useful. I expect many people who reach this page are not looking for technical details, but have just come across a bunch of .cab files cluttering their storage (especially on Windows Mobile devices with limited space) and are wondering whether they can be deleted (like .zip files generally can, after an install). Do these files need to be treated with care? Do apps keep using them after the first time? There a bit of intelligible information here [1] DKEdwards 16:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
