Jade contains basic support for reading, inserting and writing buffers
which have been compressed using the gzip or compress
compression programs. When this feature is enabled such files are
transparently decompressed when loaded into the buffer and compressed
when saved back to a file.
Unfortunately this doesn't work on Amigas yet. To install it the Lisp form,
(require 'gzip)
should be in your `.jaderc' file (or you can do this by hand
in the *jade* buffer if you want).
After the gzip package has been installed any files loaded
into buffers whose filename end in `.gz' or `.Z' are
uncompressed, this suffix is stripped when searching for a major mode
to install in the buffer but otherwise the buffer's filename is left
intact.
Any buffer saved whose filename ends in one of the above suffixes
is automatically compressed (`.gz' is compressed by gzip,
`.Z' by compress).
