    Editing compressed files with Vim		*gzip* *bzip2* *compress*

    1. Autocomands			|gzip-autocmd|

    The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|.
    This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set.
    You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_gzip" variable:
    	:let loaded_gzip = 1

    {Vi does not have any of this}

    ==============================================================================

    1. Autocomands						*gzip-autocmd*

    The plugin installs autocommands to intercept reading and writing of files
    with these extensions:

    	extension	compression
    	*.Z		compress (Lempel-Ziv)
    	*.gz		gzip
    	*.bz2		bzip2

    That's actually the only thing you need to know.  There are no options.

    After decompressing a file, the filetype will be detected again.  This will
    make a file like "foo.c.gz" get the "c" filetype.
