Hi there,

How to tell emacs to use 'gzip -d' instead of 'gunzip' whenever
un-compressing in dired etc.? Thank you.

Best,
(customize-option (quote jka-compr-compression-info-list))

In my emacs it does use 'gzip -d'.

-ap
Thanks!

On a similar topic, is there a way to force quotes around the filename?
My emacs always chokes on compressed files with spaces in their names.

I think I was wrong. Compression in this case seems to be controlled by the
variable
`dired-compress-file-suffixes'. This topic is confusing me.

I think you should either

(require 'dired-aux)

before you access the variable (maybe in a dired-mode-hook)
or you

(eval-after-load "dired-aux" ... )
