+I. Preconditions
+========================================================================
+Obtaining HDF5 source code 
+   1. Create a directory for your development, for example, "myhdfstuff".
+
+   2. Obtain compressed (*.tar or *.zip) HDF5 source from
+        http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/
+      and put it in "myhdfstuff".
+      Do not uncompress.
+
+CMake version
+   1. We suggest you obtain the latest CMake from the Kitware web site. 
+      The HDF5 1.8."X" product requires a minimum CMake version 2.8.12,
+      where "X" is the current HDF5 release version.

+
+The following files referenced below are available at the HDF web site:
     http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/cmakebuild.html
-    (See Section VII: APPENDIX for instructions)
 
-To build HDF5 with the SZIP and ZLIB external libraries you will need to:
+CMake build script:
+    CTestScript.cmake
 
-    1. Create a directory for your development; myhdfstuff.
+External compression szip and zlib libraries:
+    SZip.tar.gz
+    ZLib.tar.gz
     
-    2. Create a directory for the HDF5 source; hdf5-1.8 in myhdfstuff.
+Platform configuration files:
+    HDF518Windows64RWDICMake.cmake
+    HDF518Windows32RWDICMake.cmake
+    HDF518LinuxRWDICMake.cmake
+    HDF518MacRWDICMake.cmake
+
+To build HDF5 with the SZIP and ZLIB external libraries you will need to:
 
-    3. Download the SZip.tar.gz and ZLib.tar.gz to your development directory, 
-       (See Section VII: APPENDIX for instructions). Both are needed if 
-       building with external libraries; do not uncompress them.
+   1. Change to the development directory "myhdfstuff".
+    
+   2. Download the SZip.tar.gz and ZLib.tar.gz to "myhdfstuff".
+      Do not uncompress the files.
        
-    4. Download or create the CTestScript.cmake file in your development 
-       directory, (See Section VII.A: APPENDIX for an example).   
-          
-    5. Download or create a platform configuration file in your development 
-       directory, (See Section VII.B: APPENDIX for an example). 
-       This file calls CTestScript.cmake; the platform configuration file can 
-       be modified. CTestScript.cmake file should not be modified.    
-
-    6. From your development directory execute the CTest Script with the 
-       following options:
-
-        ctest -S <configuration file>,<hdf5src> -C RelWithDebInfo -VV -O hdf5.log
-
-    7. This will configure, build, test and create an install package in the 
-       myhdfstuff/hdf5-1.8/build folder. 
-       On windows, execute:
-                HDF5-1.8.13-win32.exe
-       On Linux, change to the install destination and execute:
-                <path-to>/myhdfstuff/hdf5-1.8/build/HDF5-1.8.13-Linux.sh
-                
-    Where:
-        "configuration file" is the platform configuration file from step6;
-          HDF518WindowsRWDICMake.cmake, HDF518LinuxRWDICMake.cmake, or 
-          HDF518MacRWDICMake.cmake can be downloaded from the HDF Group website.
-        "hdf5src" is the uncompressed HDF5 source code directory. No path 
-          should be specified.
-        
-        The -S option uses the script version of ctest.
+   3. Download the CTestScript.cmake file to "myhdfstuff".
+      CTestScript.cmake file should not be modified.    
+       
+   4. Download a platform configuration file to "myhdfstuff".
+      Do not modify the file unless you want to change default build 
+      environment.
+
+   5. From the "myhdfstuff" directory execute the CTest Script with the 
+      following options:
+
+         ctest -S <configuration file> -C RelWithDebInfo -VV -O hdf5.log
+
+      The command above will configure, build, test and create an install 
+      package in the myhdfstuff/hdf5-1.8/build folder.
+
+      The -S option uses the script version of ctest.
         
-        The value for the -C option (as shown above, "-C RelWithDebInfo") must 
-        match the setting for CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION in the platform 
-        configuration file.
+      The value for the -C option (as shown above, "-C RelWithDebInfo") must
