29 ;; This package implements low-level support for reading, writing,
30 ;; and loading compressed files. It hooks into the low-level file
31 ;; I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so
32 ;; that they automatically compress or uncompress a file if the file
33 ;; appears to need it (based on the extension of the file name).
34 ;; Packages like Rmail, VM, GNUS, and Info should be able to work
35 ;; with compressed files without modification.
40 ;; To use jka-compr, invoke the command `auto-compression-mode' (which
41 ;; see), or customize the variable of the same name. Its operation
42 ;; should be transparent to the user (except for messages appearing when
43 ;; a file is being compressed or uncompressed).
45 ;; The variable, jka-compr-compression-info-list can be used to
46 ;; customize jka-compr to work with other compression programs.
47 ;; The default value of this variable allows jka-compr to work with
48 ;; Unix compress and gzip.
50 ;; If you are concerned about the stderr output of gzip and other
51 ;; compression/decompression programs showing up in your buffers, you
52 ;; should set the discard-error flag in the compression-info-list.
53 ;; This will cause the stderr of all programs to be discarded.
54 ;; However, it also causes emacs to call compression/uncompression
55 ;; programs through a shell (which is specified by jka-compr-shell).
56 ;; This may be a drag if, on your system, starting up a shell is
59 ;; If you don't want messages about compressing and decompressing
60 ;; to show up in the echo area, you can set the compress-name and
61 ;; decompress-name fields of the jka-compr-compression-info-list to
68 ;; jka-compr can coexist with crypt++ if you take all the decompression
69 ;; entries out of the crypt-encoding-list. Clearly problems will arise if
70 ;; you have two programs trying to compress/decompress files. jka-compr
71 ;; will not "work with" crypt++ in the following sense: you won't be able to
72 ;; decode encrypted compressed files--that is, files that have been
73 ;; compressed then encrypted (in that order). Theoretically, crypt++ and
74 ;; jka-compr could properly handle a file that has been encrypted then
75 ;; compressed, but there is little point in trying to compress an encrypted
82 ;; jka-compr is a V19 adaptation of jka-compr for V18 of Emacs. Many people
83 ;; have made helpful suggestions, reported bugs, and even fixed bugs in
84 ;; jka-compr. I recall the following people as being particularly helpful.
93 ;; Andy Norman's ange-ftp was the inspiration for the original jka-compr for
94 ;; Version 18 of Emacs.
96 ;; After I had made progress on the original jka-compr for V18, I learned of a
97 ;; package written by Kazushi Jam Marukawa, called jam-zcat, that did exactly
98 ;; what I was trying to do. I looked over the jam-zcat source code and
99 ;; probably got some ideas from it.
