Re: HDF 4 and HDF-EOS in Java netcdf 4.0!

Hi Peter:

You are very welcome! I too, have been waiting for some way to read these files
without using the rather cumbersome HDF / HDF-EOS libraries. Finally I just
finally did it myself, since it fit well into the cdm framework we have been
developing.

A few caveats: I have tested against every HDF file I can get my hands on, but
im sure there are still some problems to be found. Please try it out and send
any problems to me. Also, identifying HDF-EOS coordinate systems is ongoing
work which we've only just started.

I will be releasing the latest 4.0 version tommorrow, so if you are planning on
trying it, you should download then.

Hi John,

I just noticed the note on your Java netCDF page on file format support
for HDF 4 and HDF-EOS in the Java netCDF 4.0 library.  I haven't tried
it out yet, but I just need to say: BLESS YOU BLESS YOU BLESS YOU!
Thank god someone is doing that work!  I have been waiting 10 years for
this!

Best regards,
Peter
