nnslashdot can't find gzip

nnslashdot can't find gzip

[Brad Collins]

I'm running emacs on a Windows box (I'll be happy when I can move back
to my Linux box) with the latest version of gnus.

When I try to run nnslash I get a message saying that it can't find
gzip.

I thought I could quickly track this down and find out where it's
being called and change the path to the cgywin directory but I haven't
had any luck.

Anyone know where I can change the path to so emacs and or gnus can
find gzip and can it be done from my .gnus or .emacs file?

Cheers,

b/

Does nnslashdot use jka-compr? 
See C-h v jka-compr-compression-info-list RET then.

Greetings,

`exec-path' says where Emacs finds executables, but I'm guessing that
this is something that w3 calls from somewhere to decompress gzipped
HTTP connections.
