This is the file containing the functions I use. I wrote it based on
discussion on this list a few years ago. The key is w32-shell-execute
C-c C-f in dired now does exactly what double-click in windows explorer does.
The others are ones I use. Probably the most important special case is C-c C-g
which sends a gzipped postscript file directly to ghostview (ghostview does the
gunzip
by itself, so there is never any point to gunzipping a postscript file. Much
better
to store the compressed version which can be 5 to 10 times smaller).
