I get an error about a bad CRC when I try to view a manual page
that
I just editted. It's a compressed file, and I've got XEmacs set up
to do the auto compression thing. It's compiled with file
codeing... could it be an interaction with that?
Yes. All decompression modes are broken wrt to coding-systems.
crypt.el is probably the least broken (it will work if the
decompressed file is compatible with the default coding system and
doesn't require any conversion). jka-compr is the most broken.
