HDF5 Logo   9/26/03
hdf5-logo/

Ireneusz Szczesniak has contributed an HDF5 Logo designed with
the Adobe Illustrator software.

The archive file includes these three files:

1. hdf5.ai - the Adobe Illustrator file
2. hdf5.pdf
3. hdf5.eps

Files hdf5.pdf and hdf5.eps can be used for posters and
presentations - they are scalable and very small (2KB and 5KB). 
The Adobe Illustrator file hdf5.ai is also included in case you want to 
modify the image.

============================================================
Autoconf macros for C and C++  9/26/03
autoconf-macros/

Ireneusz Szczesniak has provided Autoconf macros which any
package using HDF5 can use.  There are two macros, hdf5.m4 
(for the C interface) and hdf5_cpp.m4 (for the C++ interface)

These files are copyrighted by the Tech-X Corporation, but
can be used freely, provided that Tech-X Corporation's copyright 
is acknowledged.

h5compact.c   1/4/01

This is a utility that walks through an HDF5 file, and copies
all datasets, committed datatypes, comments and attributes to
the new HDF5 file.  It has not been tested on enums, ragged-arrays 
etc., but it was never meant to be anything but a small fix, until 
the developers decide to enable the use of freed chunks in a file.
 
It has been tested on Intel Linux and Intel GNU/Win32.

HL-HDF  12/02 

HL-HDF, contributed by the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological
Institute (SMHI), is a high level interface to HDF5.  It is
designed to focus on selected HDF5 functionality and make it 
available to users at a high level of abstraction to facilitate
data management.  HL-HDF also includes a Python programming language
interface, call PyHL.
