yes, netcdf4 Is HDF-5
However the netcdf4 library can also read and write netcdf3, which is a
different format. So if your files are netcdf3, they will need to be
converted.
the ncdump utility should be able to tell you:
ncdump -k the_file.nc
If it doesn't say"netCDF-4",then you need to convert.
The sccopy utility can convert, this should do it:
nccopy -k netCDF-4 the_input_file.nc the_ouput_file.nc
However, I have a code in IDL programming language.
This code was prepared for some HDF data few years ago. I want to still run

That software may be expecting the data arranged in a particular way, which
would be another issue.
but try the above and see how far you get.
