NAME
     mscompress - compress data using LZ77 algorithm

SYNOPSIS
     mscompress [ -h ]
     mscompress [ -V ]

     Each input file  is compressed to file eding with underscore and original file  re-
     mains  untouched.	Output files then can be decompressed using Microsoft EXPAND.EXE

     crosoft's COMPRESS.EXE

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