cygwin has bin/xz
the mac doesnt have xz in its /bin
I won't follow through today. reading the r code
for
Browse[1]> xzfile
function (description, open = "", encoding = getOption("encoding"),
compression = 6)
.Internal(xzfile(description, open, encoding, compression))
<bytecode: 0x095cce70>
<environment: namespace:base>
is the next step, but not today.
