is rumored to have said:
But bbedit does in fact open it just fine. I think it must be doing
some magic behind the scenes, maybe based on plutil or equivalent. The
user manual says:
BBEdit transparently opens and displays the contents of any bz2 or
gzip-compressed files (“.bz2”, “.gz” and “.gzip” files),
as well as
tarballs (“.tar” files) and binary plists (“.plist” files),
both
directly and during multi-file search.
!
That must be new-ish.
