Apparently, RSI hasn't heard that HDF5 and HDF4 are DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT
programs. Anyone using HDF4 will have to rewrite their programs to use
HDF5. But we can't do that until RSI SUPPORTS HDF5. So we can't even
begin to tackle that issue.

I sincerely hope that RSI follows NCSA's lead, and keeps support for
HDF4 while it adds support for HDF5. In any case, as long as RSI
doesn't provide HDF5 support, users will continue to use HDF4. The only
way for RSI to get customers to stop using HDF4 libraries is to wait for
people to get so fed up with the lack of HDF5 support that they leave
IDL entirely in favor of some other product with HDF5 support.
