[comp.os.cpm] Unix utilities for LBR manipulation

Are there utilities like _nulu_ for extracting files from .LBR archives
which run on UNIX(tm)?  Is there source code available for such
utilities?  I can't find any in the simtel archives (from looking at
file-names).  I can't find any in comp.sources.unix, either.  I suppose
that once I extract the files, they'll be compressed, so I'll need
uncompression utilities on UNIX(tm) as well.  I have seen compress,
compact, arc, and splay-compress, but I have never seen crunch /
uncrunch on UNIX(tm)...  Does anyone else out there work on UNIX(tm)
machines a lot and have a CP/M machine at home?

I currently have to down load the .LBR archive-files to my CP/M
machine, extract all the files, then up-load the documentation again to
print it on the UNIX(tm) host.  Thanks in advance for your help.

I use "lar.c".  I have no idea where the source came from at this point
but could probably find it on backups if someone is desperate.  Snd
requests to "sir-alan!mikes@uunet.uu.net".  

There is also a utility for reading 8" SSSD CP/M format diskettes on a
UNIX system that has an 8" floppy (DEC, Tandy 6000, etc.).  I have used
it on a RS 6000 and it worked fine.  The version I have is called "ucpm"
but there is also something called "cpm" from the BSD distribution.
