Well...I finally brought my computer into work to download the HDF source code
(I wasn't looking forward to doing so at 1200 baud) and I'm looking at it now.

All the powers that be at NCSA have said good luck...sorry we can't help but
feel free to work on it so I've decided sure, why not?

I'm only looking at the HDF code right now.  This stuff only reads in the HDF
files so you can use it in your own program.  I haven't attempted to actually
get the ImageTool source yet.

My C is more than a little rusty...so I intend to use this as an opportunity to
bone up a little.  If you are a bit impatient then you might grap the source
yourself from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50).  The HDF library is the key
to writing any HDF2IFF converters since it handles the HDF input for you.

Actually...those that were interested (and conversant with C) probably
shouldn't bother waiting for me to finish as I'm going to be busy with normal
work and won't be able to devote much time to this (I was planning on spending
my after work hours on this but I'm taking a class too *my brain hurts*).


Well thats the current status.  Thanks to all who responded with mail on this!
