A similar tool solved a difficult technical problem.  By analysis of the
byte-frequency on a tape, we determined it had been mis-copied on a Cyber
(63 byte character set) and not corrupted on a tape drive in a remote
location.

Also, it's been useful in finding characters to use as alias bytes when
transforming data file formats.
