With -q and -Q and the following: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|tar\\|gz\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\\'" . archive-mode)) Then loading a *.tar or *.gz file generates the following error messages: File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized") [3 times] Don't worry abou this as I have managed to get cygstart online whenever you load a file in dired, so that a Winzip window pops up whenever you load an archive file. -- Sincerely and kindest regards, Davin.
