;;; Commentary:

;; This package implements low-level support for reading, writing,
;; and loading compressed files.  It hooks into the low-level file
;; I/O functions (including write-region and insert-file-contents) so
;; that they automatically compress or uncompress a file if the file
;; appears to need it (based on the extension of the file name).
;; Packages like Rmail, VM, GNUS, and Info should be able to work
;; with compressed files without modification.


;; INSTRUCTIONS:
;;
;; To use jka-compr, invoke the command `auto-compression-mode' (which
;; see), or customize the variable of the same name.  Its operation
;; should be transparent to the user (except for messages appearing when
;; a file is being compressed or uncompressed).
;;
;; The variable, jka-compr-compression-info-list can be used to
;; customize jka-compr to work with other compression programs.
;; The default value of this variable allows jka-compr to work with
;; Unix compress and gzip.
;;
;; If you are concerned about the stderr output of gzip and other
;; compression/decompression programs showing up in your buffers, you
;; should set the discard-error flag in the compression-info-list.
;; This will cause the stderr of all programs to be discarded.
;; However, it also causes emacs to call compression/uncompression
;; programs through a shell (which is specified by jka-compr-shell).
;; This may be a drag if, on your system, starting up a shell is
;; slow.
;;
;; If you don't want messages about compressing and decompressing
;; to show up in the echo area, you can set the compress-name and
;; decompress-name fields of the jka-compr-compression-info-list to
;; nil.


;; APPLICATION NOTES:
;;
;; crypt++
;;   jka-compr can coexist with crypt++ if you take all the decompression
;;   entries out of the crypt-encoding-list.  Clearly problems will arise if
;;   you have two programs trying to compress/decompress files.  jka-compr
;;   will not "work with" crypt++ in the following sense: you won't be able to
;;   decode encrypted compressed files--that is, files that have been
;;   compressed then encrypted (in that order).  Theoretically, crypt++ and
;;   jka-compr could properly handle a file that has been encrypted then
;;   compressed, but there is little point in trying to compress an encrypted
;;   file.
;;


;; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
;;
;; jka-compr is a V19 adaptation of jka-compr for V18 of Emacs.  Many people
;; have made helpful suggestions, reported bugs, and even fixed bugs in
;; jka-compr.  I recall the following people as being particularly helpful.
;;
;;   Jean-loup Gailly
;;   David Hughes
;;   Richard Pieri
;;   Daniel Quinlan
;;   Chris P. Ross
;;   Rick Sladkey
;;
;; Andy Norman's ange-ftp was the inspiration for the original jka-compr for
;; Version 18 of Emacs.
;;
;; After I had made progress on the original jka-compr for V18, I learned of a
;; package written by Kazushi Jam Marukawa, called jam-zcat, that did exactly
;; what I was trying to do.  I looked over the jam-zcat source code and
;; probably got some ideas from it.
