I think you will find crypt.el more robust. Available via anonymous ftp to 

  /archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/crypt.el.Z

I just posted a modified version of this to gnu.emacs.sources that will work
with GNU zip files as well as tar-mode.el

Check your local Emacs lisp archive for a module called "zcat.el".
This contains a routine called zcat-buffer that is installed as a
minor mode (it doesn't actually replace find-file). It's installed like
this at our site:

	(autoload 'zcat-buffer "site/zcat"
	  "Uncompresses contents of buffer,
       respecting read-only status (not loaded)."
	  t)

	(setq auto-mode-alist
		  (append auto-mode-alist '(
			  ("\\.Z$" . zcat-buffer)
		   )))

Once this is done during setup, zcat-buffer will automatically be
invoked on any file with a .Z extension (quite neat).  We've put it
into our site-init.el file.

   Does anybody have a version of find-file (or find-file-noselect) that
   will automatically uncompress the file, if it has the .Z suffix?

We have this behaviour at our site by the use of Kyle Jones's "crypt"
package. By simply having this file in a directory on the emacs load
path and putting (require 'crypt) in your ~/.emacs file will do what
you requested.    (Thanks Kyle, it's *very* handy.)

;; To use this package, put it in a file called "crypt.el" in a Lisp
;; directory that Emacs knows about, byte-compile it, and put the line:
;;    (require 'crypt)
;; in your .emacs file or in the file default.el in the "lisp" directory
;; of the Emacs distribution.  Don't bother trying to autoload this file;
;; this package uses a find-file hook and thus should be loaded the
;; first time you visit any sort of file.
;;
;; The basic purpose of this package of Lisp functions is to automatically
;; recognize encrypted, compacted or compressed files when they are first
;; visited and decode the file's BUFFER before it is presented to the user.
;; The file itself is unchanged.  When the buffer is subsequently saved to
;; disk, a hook function re-encodes the buffer before the actual disk write
;; takes place.
;;
;; This package recognizes compacted and compressed files by a magic number at
;; the beginning of these files, but a heuristic is used to detect encrypted
;; files.  If you are asked for an encryption key for a file that is in fact
;; not encrypted, just hit RET and the file will be accepted as is, and the
;; crypt minor mode will not be entered.
