No, I'm not sure how the nic.fb4.noaa.gov site is organized, and I was
unable to access it when I just now tried.  But there is an NCEP GRIB
decoder named "wgrib" available here:

The "Stackpole GRIB documents" (since John Stackpole retired, I'm not
sure they are still referred to that way) are available in PDF and
WordPerfect formats from here:
