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 EX-
       PAND.EXE	utility	or msexpand(1).	In other words,	mscompress(1) is  binary  com-
       patible with Microsoft's	COMPRESS.EXE

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