Stuffit reduces the size of the files to about half the original size. 
This saves time and taxpayer dollars during upload/downloads.  Files should
then be converted to Binhex for ease of FTP; also, since Binhex is
ASCII-based it is very easy to tack onto the front some text that gives the
pertinent information you suggest.
