If there is it'll certainly be very awkward: even in C you're limited to
reading in byte sized chunks.

I imagine the best way is to read /everything/ that you might need into
memory in one go in a language that does bit operations fairly well
(like C) and then work through the data stream looking at fractions of
the bytes. And export from that into something readable by Normal
Computer Programs!
