An un(tg)zipper is not very important - I only > realized this after my previous e-mail - but wget is. I still don't think I understand. Emacs is perfectly capable of fetching URLs, so why would you need wget? If you base this on wget, you will need to cope with complexities that you had better avoided: how to download a program, where to find it, how to install it so it's on PATH, etc. etc. Please believe me that arranging for a simple Lisp command that fetches a URL and saves it to a file is orders of magnitude simpler.
