It would be surprsing if there were any major file-format
incompatibility between HDF versions 4.1 & 4.2, though it's conceivable
that there are minor incompatibilities (for example, new compression
methods that were added to 4.2 and are not supported in 4.1).

It should take only a minute or two of rummaging around the HDF site to
check this out for yourself
