If it came with Minix, then it has wide distribution. COMIC is not included
with Minix (Net-upgrade or Prentice-Hall "flavors").

Compress is included, and all machines can use the 13-bit format.

Is the Minix community suddenly going to use some other binary encoder than
UUencode that is not shipped with Minix ?  I rather doubt it...
