[...] I don't remember where I found it exactly, but I did discover an Emacs Lisp file called jka-aux.el, which will modify the Emacs file location routines so that trying to find "name" will automatically use "name.gz" or "name.Z" if the former doesn't exist. This makes the backends work completely transparently, without hacks to the file system. Come to think of it, I think I found a pointer to that area from Webcrawler...ah, here it is: http://www.fuentez.com/public-info/ding/ding.html -- Stephen L.
