How to read Offline Files in CSC directory

I have 1GB of CSC files that I need to convert back into their original format.  I can open the files one by one, making guesses as to what the appropriate program is to use e.g. word/excel/powerpoint.

Is it possible to convert all of these files back to their original state in one go?  I.e. change the Word documents to filename extension .Doc  ,  Excel to .xls  etc.

Windows must change the files back to their original filenames when the offline files are used so there must be a little app that can do the same?  Or as another approach is a program that can look at the file headers to determine the file type?

I've got version 1.0 of CSCCMD from the Windows 2003 Resource Kit and it says /Extract is an unrecognised option.  

Do I need version 1.1 to use that parameter?
Ver 1.1 seems hard to get hold of, trying Microsoft tech support now.  Anyone know where I can get it from other than MS?
Microsoft CSS UK can't seem to find it!  Such a handy little app yet so hard to get hold of!  Could anyone email it to me?  support@NOSPAMprodriveit.co.uk  (removing letters in CAPS)
Nevermind got it from MS at last.  I'll post back once I've tried it.
