I run GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on a RedHat 8.0 machine. I have recently read through "Sams Teach Yourself Emacs in 24 Hours". My very first attempt at customising Emacs hasn't worked, though. I want to be able to read compressed files, so I added the line (require 'jka-compr) to my .emacs file. But Emacs seems to just ignore it (I looked at the *Messages* buffer, which did not even mention it). I tried also adding the line (setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp" load-path)) before the "require" line, to tell Emacs where jka-compr.elc is, but this did not help. What am I doing wrong?
"Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor." But you read an outdated document instead of the fine manual. Typing: C-h i m emacs RET i compress RET yields: | Accessing Compressed Files | ========================== | | Emacs comes with a library that can automatically uncompress | compressed files when you visit them, and automatically recompress them | if you alter them and save them. To enable this feature, type the | command `M-x auto-compression-mode'. You can enable it permanently by | customizing the option `auto-compression-mode'. Then typing `C-h f auto-compression-mode' and `C-h v auto-compression-mode' lead you to: (auto-compression-mode 1). -- Kevin Rodgers
