24 ;;; Commentary:
26 ;; This package implements low-level support for reading, writing,
27 ;; and loading compressed files. It hooks into the low-level file
28 ;; I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so
29 ;; that they automatically compress or uncompress a file if the file
30 ;; appears to need it (based on the extension of the file name).
31 ;; Packages like Rmail, VM, GNUS, and Info should be able to work
32 ;; with compressed files without modification.
35 ;; INSTRUCTIONS:
37 ;; To use jka-compr, invoke the command `auto-compression-mode' (which
38 ;; see), or customize the variable of the same name. Its operation
39 ;; should be transparent to the user (except for messages appearing when
40 ;; a file is being compressed or uncompressed).
42 ;; The variable, jka-compr-compression-info-list can be used to
43 ;; customize jka-compr to work with other compression programs.
44 ;; The default value of this variable allows jka-compr to work with
45 ;; Unix compress and gzip.
47 ;; If you don't want messages about compressing and decompressing
48 ;; to show up in the echo area, you can set the compress-msg and
49 ;; decompress-msg fields of the jka-compr-compression-info-list to
50 ;; nil.
53 ;; APPLICATION NOTES:
55 ;; crypt++
56 ;; jka-compr can coexist with crypt++ if you take all the decompression
57 ;; entries out of the crypt-encoding-list. Clearly problems will arise if
58 ;; you have two programs trying to compress/decompress files. jka-compr
59 ;; will not "work with" crypt++ in the following sense: you won't be able to
60 ;; decode encrypted compressed files--that is, files that have been
61 ;; compressed then encrypted (in that order). Theoretically, crypt++ and
62 ;; jka-compr could properly handle a file that has been encrypted then
63 ;; compressed, but there is little point in trying to compress an encrypted
64 ;; file.
68 ;; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
70 ;; jka-compr is a V19 adaptation of jka-compr for V18 of Emacs. Many people
71 ;; have made helpful suggestions, reported bugs, and even fixed bugs in
72 ;; jka-compr. I recall the following people as being particularly helpful.
74 ;; Jean-loup Gailly
75 ;; David Hughes
76 ;; Richard Pieri
77 ;; Daniel Quinlan
78 ;; Chris P. Ross
79 ;; Rick Sladkey
81 ;; Andy Norman's ange-ftp was the inspiration for the original jka-compr for
82 ;; Version 18 of Emacs.
84 ;; After I had made progress on the original jka-compr for V18, I learned of a
85 ;; package written by Kazushi Jam Marukawa, called jam-zcat, that did exactly
86 ;; what I was trying to do. I looked over the jam-zcat source code and
87 ;; probably got some ideas from it.
