Cabinet is a compressed archiver created by Microsoft and used in various installers. Among its several compression formats is LZX, a format co-created by Jonathan Forbes, who was hired by Microsoft after co-creating the format in an independent archiver, and contributed it to Microsoft for use in their products.
The PUZ format used by Microsoft Publisher is a Cabinet file with a .puz extension, containing the Publisher document and its external links.
