Remarks

At the time this class was developed, two major versions of HDF were under continuing development: HDF, which was at release 4.2r1, and HDF5, which was at release 5-1.6.5. This class can process HDF files but not HDF5 files. It can also process HDF-EOS, a specialized version of HDF, but not HDF5-EOS.
