  By default the standard  UU  encoding format  will  be  used.   
  If the option -m is given on the command line base64 encoding 
  is used instead. 
  ...
  The  program  can  automatically  decide which of the both
  supported encoding schemes are used.

Problem was I needed to add a line before successfully decoding
my Base64 coded text to binary.  I was looking for better/automatic
command line scheme.
