   And that kinda assumes you're only getting GSHK to your GS thru a
telcomm program. Given that the OS can't clean up after a binary II
wrapper by default, anyone trying to sneakernet or Appletalk in that
file woulda been out of luck. Better to tell folks to use a less buggy
binscii program than shaft those whose file transfers don't go solely
thru a comm program.
