Just FYI, "binaries" isn't dictated by size, it's determined by, well,
if they're binary. :-)

A zipfile is a binary encoding, so you're posting a binary (whether
uuencoded or whatever).

If the scripts are really that small just keep them in text form where
they're readable without needing decoding.
