.CUB is not an image format. It is a format used by a couple of different pieces of software, including Microsoft's Installer program for Windows.

Your best bet would be to contact whomever supplied you with the .CUB files and kindly ask them which program they used to create them.

Looks like you may need Solaris to run an image conversion program, but I don't even recognize the resulting converted image file format:

Have you ever been able to view a .CUB file, and if so, with which program? Do you know of anyone else that has successfully viewed a .CUB file, even on a different platform (Windows, Linux, etc.)? If so, what program did they use?
