"exe2coff myfile.exe" will give you "myfile". You can also (on an
uncompressed file) use "upx --coff myfile.exe -o myfile.coff" (outputs
compressed only, and UPX *will* add a stub if you unpack it) or even
D3X's "stubx -u myfile.exe" (which results in "myfile.exe" although
it's raw COFF only). If the file is already UPX'd compressed, you can
then "upx -d myfile.exe --coff -o myfile" and it will be pure COFF.

P.S. Just for reference, here's the D3X URL (although UPX doesn't
currently like packing .EXEs using it, for whatever reason ...
probably a minor bug):
