[netCDFJava #YGA-376707]: General question regarding UNIDATA support

Hi Antonio:

The best thing to do is to find some documentation for BUFRDC which explains 
how to add local tables to it. I dont know the specifics, but it will involve

1. creating a local table.
2. telling the program to use the local table.

So for 1), you have to look through the BUFRDC software package and find some 
existing tables and understand what they mean and how they are laid out.
Then, cut and paste information from the pdf into some text file that follows 
the format of the existing tables.

Sorry I cant be more specific, but i dont know more. Good luck!

John
