Yes, for 1600 BPI. This is a new practice I have introduced with 4.3BSD-
Quasijarus0a due to the growth of the source size. 4.3-QJ0a /usr/src tarball
won't fit on a 2400 ft reel at 1600 BPI without compression. Since the
uncompress utility comes standard with the system (in /usr/ucb) and the
binaries are not compressed, I felt that it's OK to compress the sources.
