I was reviewing the issue-8 `pax` utility. I remember that we're
adding "-0", "-print0" options to `xargs` and `find` and 
"-d" to `read`, 

<https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=903> requested
similar option being added to `pax`, but apparently we didn't.
Is this due to lack of commonality among existing implementations?

----

And when I inspected the schematics of the pax format archive example,
the diagram is in GIF format - it used an old compression algorithm,
when there's the PNG format which uses a new algorithm, which is 
now supported by our very own `compress` utility! But even better, 
can we support SVG format? 

It's 2025, browsers and the computer systems that run them are 
much more capable now. Can we consider updating our build targets?
