This idea has been expressed already. Stefan Monnier, the former Emacs maintainer, said a while ago, that he would like to replace tar-mode by something which uses the file handler approach. One possibility would be to implement something like tramp-archive.el from scratch. Another alternative could be to use the support of the "archive" backend in GVS. This would succeed with much less implementation effort, but OTOH it would be usable only under GNU/Linux. > best regards, > > Tim.
