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,
       mscompress(1) is binary compatible with Microsoft's COMPRESS.EXE

BUGS

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