    Using files in side a zip of cab

    i was wondering if some one could give me a quick run down on how i would read a image from inside a cab file, i want to make a program that randomly pulls a image from inside the zip but im not sure how to access it

    Thanks

    I actually didn't even notice the typo. Thanks for pointing that out. There are actually some libraries out there for zips (probably cabs too). You should check out google and search for something like that. Worse case senario you will have to write your own decompressor, which although not necessarily difficult can prove to be very tedious (depending on what sort of documentation is out there). I'm sure cabs are well documented so even writing your own decompressor should be fairly painless.
