Does it really work ??

I wrote this little "Hello World!!" program:

section 1 of uuencode 5.22 of file hello.com    by R.E.M.

begin 644 hello.com
<N@P!M`G-(;@`3,TA2&5L;&\@5V]R;&0A(0T*)`T*
`
end
sum -r/size 37333/68 section (from "begin" to "end")
sum -r/size 65095/28 entire input file

and that's the result of comtxt:

section 1 of uuencode 5.22 of file world.com    by R.E.M.

end
sum -r/size 52308/482 section (from "begin" to "end")
sum -r/size 51020/328 entire input file


If you try to execute it, it does not display "Hello World", but ......


Maybe my base64 converter is buggy, please let me know if that's the
exact result ... thanks 8)
