Hi all,

I have started trying to port the NCSA HDF library routines to the Amiga.
For those of you who don't know (and care) HDF is a file format for storing
scientific data sets and images. The purpose of the format is to allow
easy exchange of scientific data in a consistent format. The data is then
portable across different machine types (as I understand it).

The code is pretty much generic C and I haven't had to change much of it.
There are a few bugs (well, one that I know of) that have shown up that
I have not been able to resolve. This is probably due to my meager
knowledge of C in general and the SAS compiler specifically.

If you are interested in this, please reply to gerber@rigel.astro.uiuc.edu.
I will gladly make the source available and just as eagerly accept any
help. (The source is available from NCSA anyway, but not with the few
changes I had to make to get it to compile with SAS C 5.10  :-)

Thank,
