Sci. Lines: 12 I suggest that everyone who is interested in having files automatically uncompressed by GNU Emacs should look in lisp/uncompress.el in the GNU Emacs distribution. I think that this file has been there since 18.50 and possibly before. It uses hooks that are already in place in the code in lisp/files.el, instead of modifying other function definitions.
