Get script as text from scpt files

Does anyone know how to get the contents of an AppleScript file saved as Compiled Script (Data Fork) as text?

I'm trying to convert a .scpt file to a .applescript file without opening the script in Script Editor or Script Debugger. It needs to run as a background process.

Does one of the Developer Tools do this? The man pages all seem to refer to files with a resource fork, rather than a data fork. But I may be misunderstanding the info.

TIA,

Simon
