Subject: bug#18823: 24.4; Built-in support on MS-Windows for visiting compressed files
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 11:17:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH8Pv0hf8RcGL+E+OgsCi=D3yzZjrAwCTFAMQaPRyK48teqHEw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Severity: wishlist
Currently, on MS-Windows, if gzip.exe is not available at run time, it
is not possible to visit .gz files. So, for example, it is not possible
to read any info manual from a binary distribution made with a plain
"make install".
But it seems that limitation could be removed [1]. Hence this request
for having built-in support on MS-Windows for displaying compressed
files.
TIA.
In GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
of 2014-10-24 on LEG570
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.3.9600
Configured using:
`configure --prefix=/c/usr'
