And if someone wants to have compressed elisp files due to
quota limit reasons, I can recommend one of my packages.
Mail me if anyone is interested, because the current version
is not released yet.
Cheers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;; @(#) tinyezip.el -- 'load' support for compressed elisp files.
;; LCD Archive Entry:
;; tinyezip|Jari Aalto|jari.aalto@ntc.nokia.com|
;; Support for compressed elisp files: require, load, load-library,load-file..|
;; 02-Nov-1995|$Revision: 1.19 $|~/misc/tinyezip.el.Z|
;; Briefly:
;; o Allows commands LOAD, LOAD-LIBRARY, LOAD-FILE, REQUIRE and AUTOLOAD
;; defined load to accept jka-compr supported lisp '.el' files that are
;; compressed. Note: you can't compress .elc files and have them loaded,
;; only .el files.
;;
;; o As a special feature: you can change the actual "filename" (with hook)
;; before it is loaded by emacs. Eg. to have same load-commands, but
;; different files for different users/goups/sites
;;
;; o Correctly handles aliased commands that turn out to be in 'autoload'
;; state.
;;
;; o Now you can compress all your lisp library files in your ~/elisp
;; dir and save space eg. for quota limit reasons, while still being
;; able to load them as usual.
;;
;; o You don't have to change anything in your .emacs startup file, all
;; will work as usuall. (Note: see Limitations. You cannot use autoloaded
;; function inside lisp code without preparations.)

Wasn't there also a jka-load at some point in time? I had no problems
with it, but it seems to have not been included in emacs19.
