If the question is still valid, the standard distribution of Smile includes
a "Hex to string" script which was written so as to be easily made into a
plain vanilla AppleScript script.

And, I have also the plain vanilla script on my machine (a rather compact
script), as a stuffit archive. So, I suppose I sent it once to someone, I
don't remember who. Anyone interested, please ask.

That "HexToString" script uses a method that I have rarely seen. Its core
line is:

--------------------
set theScript to "get +data pstr70" & theChunk & "; as string"
set theChunk to do script (theScript)
--------------------
