Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:05:10 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A455426.4030503@peoplepc.com> (raw)


Been using Google all day to no avail. I think it is pretty straight 
forward question.

Can you use compressed Lisp code? Will it evaluate, compile and evaluate?

The reason I ask is due to looking at the Emacs directory. The Lisp code 
directory sure does eat up a lot of space. So, it came to mind, "why not 
compress each of those buggers and let the interpreter use them from the 
archives?"

Will Emacs allow this? Further is it even doable beyond Emacs?

This may not be exactly the best place for me to ask, understood. I am 
trying to keep it related to Emacs on a general usage level. If we can 
use compressed libraries, wouldn't it be worth knowing? ;-)
