I have a few folders which are large enough, and accessed rarely
enough that I keep them compressed.  On the other hand, I access
them frequently enough to consider the manual uncompress and
re-compress to be a pain.

Do others share my emotions?  How hard should it be to have mush
recognize file names ending with .Z in the folder directory
to be compressed, zcat them into its temporary file, and re-compress
when a save is issued to that folder?
