hi everybody there,
I tried to open a txt.gz file in vi, it unzipped itself and opened
the txt file. But when i did the same in emacs its showing some junk
characters. Why isn't emacs doing that? Is the option disabled because
emacs opens tar files which vi doesn't.
could anybody help me out with this.
thanks
vinay

I think crypt++ or crypt do the job. Try to put "(require 'crypt++)" or
"(require 'crypt)" into your initialization file (~/.emacs or
~/.xemacs/init.el). But maybe there are also other solutions?
Cheers,
Thomas.

Turn on auto-compression-mode.
Have fun
