Here's an example for Linux on the the PC:
[fdc@yclept gkermit]$ ls -l gkermit
-rwxrwx--- 1 fdc fdc 32317 Dec 17 20:36 gkermit
[fdc@yclept gkermit]$ gzip gkermit

[fdc@yclept gkermit]$ ls -l gkermit.gz.uue
-rw-rw---- 1 fdc fdc 20839 Dec 19 10:18 gkermit.gz.uue
[fdc@yclept gkermit]$
The Sparc binary is about 50% bigger (RISC vs CISC).
Of course a bare minimum receive-only Kermit is possible too, which would
be only a few K. Someday when I have nothing else to do maybe I'll make
one (again).
