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