(the gunzip is in the same dir as gzip.exe) But i= f i=20 rename gunzip to gunzip.exe, but Windows complain that the file is not a = exe=20 format. extra detail: when i do (executable-find "gzip") emacs says "c:/cygwin/bin/gzip.exe" and (executable-find "gunzip") says nil. the gunzip exists at c:/cygwin/bin/gunzip which is a shell script that calls gzip -d. Same problem when starting emacs with -Q. GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) of 2009-07-29 on SOFT-MJASON --------- I'm reporting this as a bug, but tips on solving this on my machine also=20 would be appreciated. Thank you. I'm thinking, shouldn't emacs's dired simply look for gzip and call it wi= th=20 gzip -d, instead of looking for the gunzip program? That seems to me simp= ler=20 and more reliable.
