Make the most use of READER's time.  Posting uudecode'd compressed sources
means that nice little BBS site might get a cheaper phonebill.  (Note the
word MIGHT!)  On the other hand, 20 people will now be running uudecode
and uncompress.

The alternative -- posting clean human-readable C code -- means people just
spend a little bit of time in their newsreading, reading code.
