Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

mode I uncompression "on the fly" was performed such that a
file.txt.gz or file.txt.Z was read without problems without the need
of running gunzip or (Z) 


If I remember well this was due to the following commands

This feature still exists, and it still works as far as I know.  If
you think you have observed a bug in it, please read the Bugs section
in the Emacs manual, which provides guidelines on how to write a bug
report to give us the necessary information so we can fix the bug.
