    Would it be possible to add automatic, on the fly, gz decompression to
    xpdf? I am aware of the zxpdf script, but it would be much nicer to
    have it all in one command.
    It could probably be handled in the same way xdvi does; maybe you
    could even use their wrapper script.

    Thanks for the suggestion about xdvi. I'll check that out.

    Upstream doesn't intend to fix this, but as we get quite a few requests
    for that in Debian I will investigate (and our /usr/bin/xpdf is already
    a wrapper script, and we have zxpdf too). However it'll wait until
    after sarge now.
