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.
37 ;;; To use jka-compr, simply load this package, and edit as usual.
38 ;;; Its operation should be transparent to the user (except for
39 ;;; messages appearing when a file is being compressed or
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 are concerned about the stderr output of gzip and other
48 ;;; compression/decompression programs showing up in your buffers, you
49 ;;; should set the discard-error flag in the compression-info-list.
50 ;;; This will cause the stderr of all programs to be discarded.
51 ;;; However, it also causes emacs to call compression/uncompression
52 ;;; programs through a shell (which is specified by jka-compr-shell).
53 ;;; This may be a drag if, on your system, starting up a shell is
56 ;;; If you don't want messages about compressing and decompressing
57 ;;; to show up in the echo area, you can set the compress-name and
58 ;;; decompress-name fields of the jka-compr-compression-info-list to
62 ;;; APPLICATION NOTES:
65 ;;; jka-compr can coexist with crpyt++ if you take all the decompression
66 ;;; entries out of the crypt-encoding-list. Clearly problems will arise if
67 ;;; you have two programs trying to compress/decompress files. jka-compr
68 ;;; will not "work with" crypt++ in the following sense: you won't be able to
69 ;;; decode encrypted compressed files--that is, files that have been
70 ;;; compressed then encrypted (in that order). Theoretically, crypt++ and
71 ;;; jka-compr could properly handle a file that has been encrypted then
72 ;;; compressed, but there is little point in trying to compress an encrypted
79 ;;; jka-compr is a V19 adaptation of jka-compr for V18 of Emacs. Many people
80 ;;; have made helpful suggestions, reported bugs, and even fixed bugs in
81 ;;; jka-compr. I recall the following people as being particularly helpful.
90 ;;; Andy Norman's ange-ftp was the inspiration for the original jka-compr for
91 ;;; Version 18 of Emacs.
93 ;;; After I had made progress on the original jka-compr for V18, I learned of a
94 ;;; package written by Kazushi Jam Marukawa, called jam-zcat, that did exactly
95 ;;; what I was trying to do. I looked over the jam-zcat source code and
96 ;;; probably got some ideas from it.
