Yep
Nice, seemed easy enough to me, but I was expecting real Unix folks use sed | awk | indent type answers.
 
It was so of.  It was a way to send files around that people could easily execute and you new would work through 7-bit based email which is all the SMTP guaranteed in the early days.   Yeh but .. uucp was 8 yep.  But some of the legs of the USENET were luck to be based on Arpanet site, which might have had a mailer running BITNET.  When shar was created the 'least needed' style assumptions were used.   As it was it was often that people put tarballs, then compressed them and then uuencoded them inside.  Often a space savings and made it easier -> compressed tar was pretty good, and even with the 3 8-bit chars as 4 6-bit chars of uuencode it will worked out well in practice.
