Cipher BUFRtool - free utility program

BUFRtool is a universal(*) BUFR encoder / decoder, with selected functionality. BUFRtool is based on SoftBUFR Class Library, a universal(*) encoding / decoding library for the table-driven binary code BUFR. SoftBUFR is a commercial product, also member of the Cipher series.

BUFRtool is available free of charge for non-commercial use. Your are welcome to use it in academic studies (e.g. in a thesis project). If you use it, please acknowledge its use and give an appropriate reference, just as you would do with any other source such as books, papers or websites.

Currently we have available versions for Linux and for Windows 95/98/.../XP. The current versions supports BUFR editions 3 and 4. They can also decode old messages conforming to BUFR editions 1 or 2.


(*) In this context universal means that it is not restricted to any particular message types.
