Anyone here familiar with this program (mscompress)?
It allows one to either expand (msexpand) or compress
(mscompress) from or to ms .exe.

I am wanting to expand an ms .exe to extract some
files, and I
can't figure out what the message I'm getting from
msexpand
means exactly.

Whenever I run "msexpand *.exe" I get the following
response:

conky@conky2008:~/tmp/expand$ msexpand
Install_Messenger.exe
Install_Messenger.exe: Doesn't end with underscore --
ignored
conky@conky2008:~/tmp/expand$

I tried sudo, same output.

Google has not thus far been my friend, and, "man
mscompress"
offers little in return.

Anyone know what this means?

TIA for any feedback.

mscompressed files are NOT archives.
The mscompressed files looks like

kernl38g.ex_
ntldr.co_
foo.cf_
bar.dl_

and if you run

msexpand kernl38g.ex_
msexpand ntldr.co_
msexpand foo.cf_
msexpand bar.dl_

you will get the files

kernl38g.exe
ntldr.com
foo.cfg
bar.dll
