That is a bug in insert-file-contents-literally, it really should be made a file-handler method. Apperently FSF Emacs 20.4 already contains a a less than ideal fix for this (by assuming jka-compr is the only handler that will mess up the contents). XEmacs 21.2.x would already have contained the same fix had I not objected to the way it is done. insert-file-contents-literally is intended exactly for the give-me-the-bytes-of-the-file case, so I propose not to reinvent it but simply use it and fix the doens't-work-with-efs bug, at least that fails less silently. Lars, change it back, please? Jan
