The following code works for Emacs Version 20.7 and 21.3
to load archive files as archives:
(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\\'" . archive-mode)
auto-mode-alist))
I tried the following code but it only works on ZIP files:
(add-hook 'find-file-hooks 'my-archive-hook)
(defun my-archive-hook ()
(when (or (string-match "\\.zip$" (buffer-name))
(string-match "\\.tar$" (buffer-name))
(string-match "\\.gz$" (buffer-name)))
(archive-mode 1)
))
So my question is this: how do I get archive-mode to display archives
correctly for TAR and GZ files?

Using
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\
\'" . archive-mode))
should put your additions atop of the old entries. I've also seen
statements similiar to this
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append
'(("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\\'" . archive-mode)
auto-mode-alist)))
The documentation on auto-mode-alist emphasises:
The extensions whose FUNCTION is `archive-mode' should also
appear in `auto-coding-alist' with `no-conversion' coding system.
which should be fulfilled for your file types. Anyway, in my Emacsen
I have defined in auto-mode-alist:

Trouble is that this code doesn't work for TAR or GZ files which I am
trying to get online.

a few things may be worth checking:
* what is the value of auto-mode-alist when you hit C-h v auto-mode-alist
* does the *Messages* buffer (C-h e) show any errors when you open an
archive file
* are you really opening TAR/GZ files as opposed to tar/gz?

Here is the error when I tried to load a tar file:
File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized")
Here is the error when I tried to load a gz file:
Loading jka-compr...done
uncompressing allegro-1-connect-four-20070702-165627.tar.gz...done
File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized")
Note that I really mean tar file not TAR file
and gz
file not GZ file.
Thanks for your help.

How does it work when you invoke GNU Emacs as 'emacs -Q' or 'emacs -
q' ? With -Q neither the system's nor your own customisation is
loaded, with -q your's not loaded. In either both or in one case GNU
Emacs should behave correctly ...

With -q and -Q and the following:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|tar\\|gz\\|lzh\\|zoo\\)\\'" . archive-mode))
Then loading a *.tar or *.gz file generates the following error messages:
File mode specification error: (error "Buffer format not recognized") [3 times]
Don't worry abou this as I have managed to get cygstart online
whenever you load a file in dired, so that a Winzip window pops up
whenever you load an archive file.
