The dired command Z compresses or uncompresses files, and whilst compressing
worked fine I just noticed that uncompressing a gzipped file did not work.
The reason turns out to be that the Cygwin gunzip.exe is a symlink to
gzip.exe, which of course NTEmacs cannot follow. So, I took my own advice
from yesterday and replaced the symlink with a hard link, which has
completely solved the problem. This observation might be of use to other
Cygwin users, and I suspect that it applies to a number of other Cygwin
executables.
