For those who it concern:

In the Indy Online Documentation IdCoderUUE_pas.html
http://docs.indyproject.org/online/IdCoderUUE_pas.html

the uuencode table is not correct.

The table should contain the characters
`!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_

And values should run from 0-63.

Now they run from 0-64 as the tick character happens to be there twice:
`!"#$%&''()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_

Displayed table:

The maximum value for 6 bits is 63.
