You want the one from netlib at research.att.com.  It is much more up to date,
with the last edit date of Jan 1990.  The ornl.gov one has a last edit date of
1988 or so.  You'll probably want to update /netlib/admin/bin/netchop with the
following script, since I found the distributed one not up to snuff, ignoring
stuff inserted by the mail system like >From and extra trailing blank lines.

#!/bin/sh
# 11 Jun 1990
# This script tries to reassemble partitioned mail.
# After saving the pieces in files   p01 p02 ... p09 p10 ...
# execute "netchop p* >whole" to get a single file without all the
# mail headers.
#
for i in $*; do
   sed -e '1,/^Starts next$/d' -e 's/^>From /From /' -e '$d' $i
done
