The line with just the "`" character _is_ a null.  It's the zero line length 
(the value that leads every line).  Except in uuencoding, everything has a 
32, 20H, added to it .. and when you replace _that_ ASCII 32 space character 
with a "`" ...

Larger.  With no line length character.  Which was the whole point of going 
to uuencode in the first place:  more efficient than a straight 2_for_1 hex 
conversion.
