Don't even get me *started* on HDF documentation! I've spent
nearly a week now cussin' and swearin'. But thanks to
Mark Rivers I have a couple of programs that actually work.
I'll e-mail them to you.

Follow Liam Gumley's suggestion, though, and use the
HDF_SD_ interface. You'll be glad you did.

I'm writing new documentation for the HDF interface so I
don't have to go through this again. I haven't decided if
this is going up on the web page or not. I've suffered
enough over this that I might just sell this information! :-)

Cheers,

David
