What can I use this information for?
This information is especially useful when looking for a way to open a specific file.

I do not have a GNU cpio yet. Where should I get it?
By far the most safe way is to download GNU cpio directly from the developers's website. If you are going to download the GNU cpio from a website that offers a database of downloadable software, you have to reckon with the fact that when you install it on your computer, you will also install the unwanted extras. Please, pay special attention to this.
I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
