possible to extract .cab files under linux?



Hello..

Rather silly question but here goes:

I don't have access to Windows or DOS and I need to extract the contents
of some .cab files. I was wondering if there is any tool I can use to do
this, since this is a Microsoft free Debian machine.

All I want to do is extract some truetype fonts from various .cabs I have on
old cd-roms (I need them for something in particular).

I did consider the possibility of using dosemu or wine with some kind of
command-line program made for DOS (something like winzip or cabview I guess
it'd be) but since Windows/DOS is not installed on this machine I really
have no way of doing this (that I can think of).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. either a recommendation for a
program which runs under Linux to extract such files, or any other logical
method I might use to accomplish this task.

Thanks in advance,
addi
