+Section VII: How to build HDF5 with INTEL Compiler    
+======================================================================== 
+Note:  1. For Intel Compiler users, Intel 7.x works with MSVS 6.0 and
+          Intel 8.1 only works with MSVS .net 2003 when you build 
+          HDF5-1.8.x.
+              
+       2. HDF5 Fortran DLL Libraries is not supported with Intel Fortran
+          8.1 integration with Visual C++ .Net 2003 Environment.
+              
+       3. Szip library is different when using Intel compiler.
+          You should build Szip source codes with Inter compiler or 
+          download binaries for Intel compiler from 
+          ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/szip/bin/windows. 
+
+1. INTEL compiler 7.1
+
+     1.1. Intel C Compiler
+          Go to Tools-->Select Compiler
+          Check Intel box and click OK button.
+          
+     1.2. Intel Fortran Compiler
+          Go to Tools-->Select Compiler
+          Check Intel box and click OK button.
+          Go to Tools-->Customize-->Add-ins and Macro Files
+          and check Intel Fortran Compiler Build Tool
+           
+2. INTEL compiler 8.1   
+
+  Preconditions:
+     
+     a. Setup Szip Library for Intel Compiler. 
+     
+     Intel compilers use different Szip library from other compilers.
+     Szip source codes or binaries for Intel compiler can be downloaded
+     from the following address:
+     
+     ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/szip/bin/windows. 
+         
+     b. Set up path for external libraries and headers
+    
+      Skip this part if you don't want to use ANY compression features
+      provided by HDF5.  Please do read section V.
+
+      You have to read this part even if you want to only use Zlib
+      or Szip.  You also need to read section V.
+
+      Invoke Microsoft Visual C++ and go to "Tools" and select
+      "Options", find "Directories";
+      
+      Find the box "Show directories for", choose 
+      "Include files", if you can not find your Zlib and Szip 
+      header path 
+      (for example, c:\zlib122\include, c:\szip\include)
+      from the directory list, add the header path
+      (c:\zlib122\include, c:\szip\include) to the 
+      included directories.
+      
+      Find the box "Show directories for", choose "Library files",
+      If you cannot find your Zlib and Szip library path
+      (for example, c:\zlib122\lib, c:\szip\dll)
+      from the directory list, add the library path
+      (c:\zlib122\lib, c:\szip\dll) to the library directories.
+
+  2.1 Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 under MSVS C++ .Net 2003 Environment
