Subject: Allow access to gzipped man files
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?p=xboard.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=b30c8555a01a10761ef8d5030223bdd6a1a408c9

Allow access to gzipped man files

For *.gz man files we run gunzip to buffer the unzipped version in
memory. For engines this buffer is not saved, because the engine might
change. (A bit course...)
