(CCing to both JOSS and GEMBUD)

I have been trying to translate a BUFR file of surface data provided by NCAR's 
JOSS office using Gempak's NAMSND program to no avail.  Are the BUFR files from 
JOSS compatible with what Gempak's NAMSND program expects or am I barking up 
the wrong tree.  If they are not compatible, what tools are out there to plot 
out the JOSS BUFR files in station model form (ala Gempak's SFMAP).

Cheers and Thanks.
