+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This package can be used to arrange for automatic uncompress of
+;; files packed with the UNIX compress(1) utility when they are visited.
+;; All that's necessary is to load it. This can conveniently be done from
+;; your .emacs file.
;;; Code:
;; so that making the backup can work properly.
;; This is used as a write-file-hook.
