[comp.emacs] new uncompressing insert-file

ralph@laas.fr (Ralph P. Sobek) (12/04/90)

Crypt already handles the case of automatically decompressing and
recompressing a file upon visit.  This little feature (posted by Jamie
Zawinski) will help for the case of file insertion.  I don't know how
compatible they are.

Now, what I would like to see is something similar for write-file or
append-to-file when "foo" does not exist but "foo.Z" does!

Has anyone done this?
