 * Functions in this file are used for decoding grib data.  Please see the
 * headers before each function for a full descrption.
 *
 * Routines in this file call functions in the Naval Research Lab's grib 
 * library.  The grib library is freely available from 
 * http://www-mel.nrlmry.navy.mil/cgi-bin/order_grib.  This library should
 * be installed on your system prior to using the routines in this file.
 * Documentation for this library is available from
 *  Master Environmental Grib Library user's manual
 *  http://mel.dmso.mil/docs/grib.pdf
 * Note: the standard NRL grib library does not support 
 * "Little-Endian" platforms such as linux.  There is a version of the NRL 
 * grib library within the WxPredictor project which does support linux.
 *
 * This file references the cfortran.h header file to ease the use of calling 
 * this function from a fortran routine.  cfortran.h is a header file that 
 * allows for simple machine-independent calls between c and fortran.  The 
 * package is available via anonymous ftp at zebra.desy.de.
 *
 * The grib document "A GUIDE TO THE CODE FORM FM 92-IX Ext. GRIB" may be
 * useful to your understanding of this code.  This document is available 
 * via anonymous ftp from nic.fb4.noaa.gov.  Check the readme file in the
 * root directory for further instructions.
