aFileStream _ (FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'GIF-deck/11c.gif') binary.
aMimeStream _ Base64MimeConverter mimeEncode: aFileStream.
aString _  (Clipboard clipboardText: (aMimeStream contents)) clipboardText.

"================Decode================="
decodedStream _ (Base64MimeConverter mimeDecodeToBytes: aString readStream).
aForm _ (Form fromBinaryStream: decodedStream).

aForm asMorph openInWorld.
