LMI> There should be a way to use the jka-compr thingies. jka-compr needs two things to make that happen: 1: jka-aux, which does not work in GNU Emacs 19.29/19.30. Big problem, here, may or may not be resolved soon. I would expect not as the autoload problems are still in jka-compr (autoload had a number of new forms added that are not accounted for in jka-compr). 2: Minor hackery in the backend .el files to expand the regular expressions used in buffers filled with the output of 'ls', to include a regular expression built out of jka-aux-extensions. Normally this is a simple list, '(".gz" ".Z")', should not be too difficult to turn into a regexp. This is key, as the jka-compr/jka-aux functions will not operate inside buffers. I have been using jka-compr/jka-aux in this fashion, with gzipped nnml files, since... I forget how long :). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3 Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBMSOB9p6VRH7BJMxHAQHlwQP/XQheKaMUOOeF1xctyxktr1z9f5CkzNCL GsTVvyHU2r0AIIWfqGTtHJQjst6ASB6DSQm59toG36wRexsBkzoFOTShloOPgavo eIolvp1MfzQxymxvVtBLujX0+RyJPI5NcJOCsRsJ185YrIYtWgGtIvINrQXV+c7F cDki5eOwZzM= =zsco -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Rat \ Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly PGP Public Key: Ask for one today! \ accelerate to dangerous speeds. http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ratinox/ \
