It's been done.  See PD2:<UNIX-C.UTILS>ECHO.TAR-Z in the UNIX-SW archives
on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (do the FTP in "tenex" mode, not "image" or
"binary" mode).  It's written by David MacKenzie <edf at rocky2.rockefeller.edu>.

It's also in the comp.sources archives somewhere; check your copy of the
index.
