Winzip/Winrar extracts multivolume CABS for me without problems. I've always used CABARC with LZX:21 compression and not yet had any CRC errors?
I do things slightly different to most people, I use Winzips 'View > Sort > by Original Order' option to view the CAB file list as they were originally created then I print it out via M$ Offices Document Imaging printer driver and copy/paste the filenames to my 'list.txt' file then use CABARC! If the filenames are too long I print out in Landscape mode instead. Not once had a problem doing it that way, more steps involved but it works for me!
