The gunzipping needs to be done by an external program, but the untarring can be performed by Emacs itself. See install.el for an example of how you can do that using tar-untar-buffer. It's pretty untested code, tho. Stefan _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
