Thanks,
Does this tool allow the compression of entire folders?
As in if there are 100 files in a folder and I want to put them all into a cab file?

HI,
I've discovered a much better tool than this one. It's called cabarc and you can use wildcards with it. Therefore if i wanted to put 100 dll's into a cab file I could do it much easier. This tool seems alo tmore versatile.

ORIGINAL: mark_holland21For other posters coming here in future, CabArc doesn't allow you to add files to an existing CAB.

Actually, I use a freeware Explorer replacement called PowerDesk (there's a paid-for version called PowerDesk Pro) which handles most archive formats - ARC, ARJ, CAB, RAR, ZIP - in its sleep.

The cabs require you to add files in the same sequence as in the file table - so I guess your PowerDesk app does this - the same as you can with makecabs.exe / cabarc.exe ?
