	The GEOS-5 software uses [http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/sib/decoders/BUFRLIB/ NCEP's bufrlib] software. Since the BUFR library software handles 'endian' conversion internally, it needs to read the BUFR files in native mode (without endian conversion). Versions of the BUFR library prior to 10.2.0 use Fortran routines to carry out I/O and so the BUFR require Fortran file markers in native format. The most recent versions of the BUFR library (~~not yet~~ implemented in ~~GEOS~~-5) use C routines for I/O and ignore any file markers if present.
