Accessing Compressed Files

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).
