   No. But it may be, that SET changes the InfoViewer to accept these
   names also in the next version(s) at least when running under W95.

By now I don't plan to do that because:

1) InfView allready tolerates a lot of extentions for a .inf file, that's:
* No extention at all.
* .inf
* .info
* .igz
* .gz
* .info.gz
* .inz
If allready have an extention, will add:
* .gz
or modify it to
* .Xz,.Xgz
* .XXz
So is not so hard to make it work with one of them.
2) GZip is a very good compressor (equal or better than PKZip) and is free
so supporting another compressor have no sense.

Making it configurable eats time from me, makes the program slower and biger
and doesn't add any usefull thing.
