You can ftp from 
	ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
and get all the files in the directory
	soft/tex/latex-supported/multicolumn/*
which include the utility 'docstrip.tex'.  This utility converts .doc
to .sty files (just by stripping off comments and adding some copyright
stuff at the beginning, it seems to me).
