-		Installation Instructions for Remote-Accessing HDF5 
-
-I. Overview
------------
-This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5.  The SGI IRIX64
-(and IRIX) 6.5 platform have been tested.  If you have difficulties installing
-the software in your system, please send mails to me(Raymond Lu) at
-        slu@ncsa.uiuc.edu
-
-First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as described in the file 
-INSTALL.  You need the Globus 1.1.x and SSL(should have come with Globus) 
-packages.  
-
-HDF5 is built on the top of Globus-GASS(1.1.x) to handle remote access.  
-Globus-GASS(1.1.x) only supports HTTP and HTTPS protocals for 'whole file 
-read and write'.  More features may be added in the future.  
-
-II. Installation Steps
-----------------------
-The installation steps are similar to the ones in INSTALL file:
-
-1. Run 'configure' file with SSL and GASS options:
-   configure --with-ssl=$SSL/lib --with-gass=$GASS/include,$GASS/lib
-   where $SSL is your SSL directory, and $GASS is your Globus directory.
-
-   For example, below is a script file to run 'configure':
-	#! /bin/sh
-	# how to configure to use the Globus-GASS(1.1.x)
-
-	GASS_DIR=/usr/local/globus-install-1.1.1/development/mips-sgi-irix6.5-64_nothreads_standard_debug
-	SSL_LIB=/usr/local/ssl/lib
-
-	configure --with-ssl=$SSL_LIB --with-gass=$GASS_DIR/include,$GASS_DIR/lib
-
-2. Run 'make'
-
-3. Run testing program:
-   There is one read testing program called 'gass_read' in the 'test' 
-   directory.  It does whole file read through HTTP protocal.  The URL is 
-   hard coded as 
-      http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/GLOBUS/a.h5
-
-   The writing really depends on your web server.  You have to set up your 
-   server in right way to accept writing in files.  We have tested it using 
-   Apache Server(1.3.12) without authentication.  If you need more details 
-   about our testing, please contact us.  Globus suggests using their GASS
-   server. 
-
-   There is another program called 'gass_append' used for experiments.

-		Installation Instructions for Remote-Accessing HDF5 
-
-I. Overview
------------
-This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5 through SRB.  The 
-SRB version 1.1.6 on Sun Solaris 2.7 platform has been tested.  If you have 
-difficulties installing the software in your system, please send mails to me
-(Raymond Lu) at
-
-        slu@ncsa.uiuc.edu
-
-First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as described in the file 
-INSTALL.  You need the SRB library(client part) installed.  You should also 
-have access to SRB server. 
-
-
-The Storage Resource Broker(SRB) from San Diego Supercomputer Center is client-
-server middleware that provides a uniform interface for connecting to 
-heterogeneous data resources over a network and accessig replicated data sets.
-SRB, in conjunction with the Metadata Catalog(MCAT), provides a way to access 
-data sets and resources based on their attributes rather than their names or 
-physical locations.  Their webpage is at http://www.npaci.edu/Research/DI/srb.
-
-HDF5 is built on the top of SRB as a client to remotely access files on SRB
-server through SRB.  Right now, HDF-SRB only support low-level file transfer of
-SRB.  The MCAT part is not supported yet.  Low-level file transfer means files
-are treated just like Unix type files.  Files can be read, written and 
-appended.  Partial access(read and write to a chunk of file without transferrig
-the whole) is also supported.  
-
-
-III. Installation Steps
-----------------------
-The installation steps are similar to the ones in INSTALL file:
-
-1. Run 'configure' file with SRB options:
-   configure --with-srb=$SRB/include,$SRB/lib
-   where $SRB is your SRB installed library directory.
-
-   For example, below is a script file to run 'configure':
-	#! /bin/sh
-	# how to configure to use the SRB
-
-	SRB_DIR=/afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/projects/hdf/users/slu/srb_install
-	configure --with-srb=$SRB_DIR/include,$SRB_DIR/lib
-
-2. Run 'make'
-
-3. Run testing program:
-   Go to the testing directory(cd test) and run srb_write, srb_read, 
-   srb_append.
-
-   srb_write:  Connect to SRB server, write an HDF5 file with an integer 
-               dataset to SRB server.
-   srb_read:   Connect to SRB server, read part of HDF5 file on the SRB server.
-   srb_append: Connect to SRB server, append an integer dataset to an existent
-               HDF5 file on the SRB server.
-
-4. For using HDF-SRB, please read comments in srb_write.c, srb_read.c, 
-   srb_append.c in the hdf5/test directory.
