🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Msexpand decompresses files that were compressed using mscompress(1) or the Microsoft COMPRESS.EXE utility — yes, that one, the Windows 3.x installation files vibe 🪟✨

and here's the cute part: if you don't specify any files, it decompresses the standard input straight to the standard output. no args, no problem, stdin → stdout, it's giving pipeline main character energy 🔥
