Hmmm... Well, for gzip you can just put the stuff in a buffer, do "gunzip -c" in a `shell-command-on-region' and use the output. So that can be done, but that's avoiding jka-compr altogether and kinda re-implementing the entire package on a buffer basis instead of a file basis. Which we don't want to do. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
