Decay Prediction Software

Can anyone please point me in the direction of any software which might
be available which allows re-entry dates to be predicted in advance - say
from 3-6 months in advance ?
Naturally, I am aware that the closer we are to the actual decay from
orbit the more accurate the predictions will be, so something estimated 6
months in advamce might well be a week or two in error. However, I am
looking for something which read two-line files (either in true two-line
or the modified three-line format) and then produce a report listing
projected decay dates.
Feel free to e-mail me direct or post a reply to this group.
Many thanks in advance.
