I think the warning is a good alternative. It would be very good if this also could handle the case when there is no software available to handle the compression (as might be the case on w32) in other situations (than accessing tutorials etc).Because it's unlikely (how many people are going to disable auto-compression-mode, really? how many of those will run in an environment where the TUTORIAL files are compressed? how many of those will want to read the tutorial?), and even if it ever happens I don't think it'll be terrible. Rather than force auto-compression-mode ON temporarily, if you really insist on handling this case, just detect it and output a warning like "can't read it 'cause you foolishly disabled auto-compression-mode".
