The "official" BUFR-files readers are available here (md5: b2b3ac708f696ecf2a5d48711ec31b38).

News (20120213) updated <sticky>

The "official" FORLI-files readers are available here (md5: 2ca03cfee07b1248f5d05fede3633f9e). Old versions are still available here (md5: e3883e97fe025ddd68e23a55f53fdc02).
Forli reader have a bug corrected on the day/night detection,
Brescia (NRT) reader, is updated for the new processing version.
Windows: Use e.g.Universal Extractor to read the archive.
Linux: Users encountering a "liblzma.so.5 not found" error should create a symbolic link to /usr/lib/liblzma.so in the /usr/lib directory.
 If not possible and as a last hope, create a link in your home directory and use the infamous LD_LIBRARY_PATH (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html)
 A system library (GLIBC) mismatch is possible, I unfortunately have no solution yet.

New plot selection criteria. Based upon statistical analysis of the residuals recommended values are used to avoid partly cloudy scenes:

Molecule	BIAS	RMS
CO	-0.15/0.25 10-9	2.7 10-9
HNO3	-0.60/0.40 10-9	3.0 10-8
O3	-0.75/1.25 10-9	3.5 10-8
NH3	N/A*	N/A*

^* insufficient statistics
Ozone is the most affected, as the standard flags are normally sufficient for CO and HNO₃.
