  25 ;;; Commentary:
  26
  27 ;; This package can be used to arrange for automatic uncompress of
  28 ;; compressed files when they are visited.
  29 ;; All that's necessary is to load it.  This can conveniently be done from
  30 ;; your .emacs file.
  31
  32 ;; M-x auto-compression-mode is a more modern replacement for this package.
  33
  34 ;;; Code:
  35
  36 ;; When we are about to make a backup file,
  37 ;; uncompress the file we visited
  38 ;; so that making the backup can work properly.
  39 ;; This is used as a write-file-hook.
