I am not sure to understand you.
With avfs you can browse any compressed
archives (like the emacs sources) just like if they were uncompressed
http://sourceforge.net/projects/avf
> Have you got AVS installed on your O/S?
Yes you must and you need fuse installed and also enabled in your
kernel.
> Are you using Linux or Windows XP? I am using XP.
I use Gentoo/Linux.
I don't know about XP.
