NAME
       mscompress - compress data using LZ77 algorithm

SYNOPSIS
       mscompress [ -h ]
       mscompress [ -V ]
       mscompress [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Mscompress  reduces  the  size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77).  Each input file  is compressed to file eding with underscore and
       original file remains untouched. Output files then can be decompressed using Microsoft EXPAND.EXE utility or msexpand(1). In  other  words,  mscom-
       press(1) is binary compatible with Microsoft's COMPRESS.EXE

BUGS
       Mscompress cannot compress standard input as gzip(1) or compress(1) do.
