- --------A-MS COMPRESS 5.0-G-----------------
-
- Microsoft ships its files compressed with COMPRESS.EXE, for expansion
- the program EXPAND.EXE (how original ;) ) is used. The program
- EXPAND.EXE is available with every copy of MS-DOS 5.0+, the program
- COMPRESS.EXE is available with several development kits, I found it with
- Borland Pascal 7.0. The compression seems to be some kind of
- LZ-Compression, as the fully compatible? LZCopy command under Windows
- can decompress the same files. This compression feature seems to be
- available on all DOS-PCs.
