Then the thing has to be written out to a temporary file (carefully, so that jka doesn't compress what's already compressed), and then read back in again. And then the file has to be deleted. What Emacs needs is a RAM-based temporary file system. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
