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