Unfortunately, that doesn't work, not sure exactly why.
This did work based on Reid's pointer, note the addtion of 'silent' in second
line.
:augroup gzo
: autocmd!
: autocmd BufReadPre,FileReadPre *.gzo set bin
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gzo silent '[,']!gunzip
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gzo set nobin
: autocmd BufReadPost,FileReadPost *.gzo execute ":doautocmd BufReadPost "
. expand("%:r")
: autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gzo !mv <afile> <afile>:r
: autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.gzo !gzip <afile>:r
: autocmd FileAppendPre *.gzo !gunzip <afile>
: autocmd FileAppendPre *.gzo !mv <afile>:r <afile>
: autocmd FileAppendPost *.gzo !mv <afile> <afile>:r
: autocmd FileAppendPost *.gzo !gzip <afile>:r
:augroup END
