I'm running: GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (i686-w64-mingw32) Curiously, if I visit a file compressed with bzip2, Emacs has no problem opening it, but if I visit a file compressed with gzip, Emacs complains that "Uncompression program 'gzip' not found". How is this supposed to work? I don't see any compression binaries packages in the Emacs installation directory, but I do have an ezwinports directory that contains bzip2 utilities, so perhaps Emacs is using that (but how does it know?) If ezwinports is the source of bzip2 for Emacs, I don't see similar gzip utilities, so I'm quite confused. -- Will
