That's easy in this case; you can use my "flx" (RSTS File Exchange) program to do this.  There's an older version written in C, a newer one written in Python 3.  For the former, look in svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/flx/branches/V2.6, for the latter, in svn://akdesign.dyndns.org/flx/trunk.  There's documentation for both in those respective directories.  (Commments and bug reports, especially for the new version, would be appreciated.)
