Look at the vimrc file that comes with the Debian installation of vim. It
has the following in it:
augroup gzip
" Remove all gzip autocommands
au!
" Enable editing of gzipped files
" read: set binary mode before reading the file
" uncompress text in buffer after reading
" write: compress file after writing
" append: uncompress file, append, compress file
autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gz set bin
autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gz let ch_save = &ch|set ch=2
autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz '[,']!gunzip
autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz set nobin
autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz let &ch = ch_save|unlet ch_save
autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gz execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost "
. %:r
autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r
autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r
autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !gunzip <afile>
autocmd FileAppendPre *.gz !mv <afile>:r <afile>
autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !mv <afile> <afile>:r
autocmd FileAppendPost *.gz !gzip <afile>:r
augroup END
