Hiya,

There is a Java prototype bufr library in the Unidata decoder ftp 
directory, called bufr-decoder-java_1.1.01.tar.gz.   As stated it's a 
prototype but it does have a routine called bufrdump that dumps out to 
ascii. I didn't test it on the attached file because I'm busy preparing 
for a training workshop.
