We have a GRIB to netCDF converter (gribtonc) that is freely available
in our decoders package.  You can access the distribution at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/decoders/index.html

I am curious which web page you saw that referenced grib2nc.  This decoder
has been available for several years now and if we have some out of
date pages, we would like to know.
