(the gunzip is in the same dir as gzip.exe) But if i rename gunzip to gunzip.exe, but Windows complain that the file is not a exe format. How to solve this problem? 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.
