Anybody know of a program to decode LPunch format?

Background:  listserv@icsa.rice.edu gives email access to the info-mac
archives, copied from sumex-aim@stanford.edu.  This is very much 
appreciated!  However, the program, for some 30-yr-old IBM reason or
something, decides that any file with any line longer than 80 bytes
must be encoded into so-called LPunch format.  It's a trivial format,
and in most cases I can just use MS Word to strip off extraneous stuff,
but it would be convenient to have a program to decode this.  ANd it
occurred to me that there may be one, but I couldn't find it in
info-mac (which doesn't mean it isn't there...).
