I'm planning to write some functions for GNU to read and write compressed files, but thought I'd check first and see if anyone had anything like this. What I was really planning on was making read and write functions with filters so that I could easily make things like read-file-compressed, or write-file-uuencoded, etc.. Does anyone out there have anything resembling this, or do I get to do it for myself? --Herb ARPA/CHAOS: hmiller@eddie.mit.edu hmiller@micro-heart-of-gold.mit.edu CHAOS: hmiller@deep-thought.mit.edu UUCP: ...mit-eddie!hmiller

GnuEmacs in 'dired' mode has the 'U' and 'C' commands that compress and uncompress. You can probably use pieces of that code. -c
