-Section III: BUILDING AND TESTING HDF5 LIBRARIES AND ALL HDF5 TOOLS
-
-------------------WARNINGS---------------------------------
-
-1. This section is specifically for building HDF5 tools that needs to call HDF4 library. 
-
-Currently we are supporting two hdf4-relatedtools: H4toh5 converter 
-and H5toh4 converter. If you are not using these tools, please go 
-back to Section II for building and installing information. 
-
-2. This section builds and tests all versions of hdf5 libraries, 
-testing programs and tools covered in section II. 
-Additionally, it also builds and tests hdf4-related tools. We may refer some duplicated parts of this section to section II. 
-
-3. In case 
-     a) you don't install hdf libraries and related tools in
-        your machine, 
-     b) or if the top directory of your hdf4 libraries and 
-        tools are not under C:\hdf41r4 and you are not familar
-        on how to change settings of VC++ projects.
-
-   you may get binary distribution from 
-ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF/HDF4.1r4/windows_precompiled_code/HDF41r4.zip 
-and use Winzip to unpack HDF41r4.zip into C:\hdf41r4.
-
-4. We assume that you've installed hdf4(mfhdf and hdf) 
-libraries into drive C. The top level path should be 
-C:\HDF41r4. Under C:\HDF41r4 it should at least 
-include the following six directories: 
-
-C:\HDF41r4\bin where hdf4 utilities are stored
-
-C:\HDF41r4\dlllib where release dll versions of hdf and mfhdf 
-libraries and export libraries of dlls are stored
-
-C:\HDF41r4\dlllibdbg where debug dll versions of hdf and mfhdf 
-libraries and export libraries of dlls are stored
-
-C:\HDF41r4\lib where release versions of hdf and mfhdf 
-libraries are stored
-
-C:\HDF41r4\libdbg where debug versions of hdf and mfhdf 
-libraries are stored
-
-C:\HDF41r4\include where header files are included 
-
-Make sure that you copy all *.dll files under C:\HDF41r4 into Windows
-system directory before the next step.
-
-If your path of hdf libraries and mfhdf libraries is different 
-from the default assumption, please DO follow No.4 of Step 1 on 
-the following:
-
-
-Step 1. 
-  
-    1. Unpack all_withhdf4.zip in 'hdf5' and move the zlib.dll 
-       from c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\src\zlib\dll to the Windows     
-       system directory.
-
-	 The system directory can usually be found under the path 
-		C:\WINNT\system or C:\WIN98\system
-      
-    2. Invoke Microsoft Visual C++, go to "File" and select the 
-       "Open Workspace" option. 
-
-       Then open the c:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\proj\all\all.dsw 
-       workspace. 
-    
-    3. This part is for users who are familar with handling 
-       settings of VC++ project and store their hdf4 libraries 
-       not under C:\hdf41r4. Other users can skip this part. 
-        
-       3.1 Change the path where hdf4 library header files are 
-       located
-
-       a) On the View menu, click Workspace, you may see a 
-          pop-up window with names of projects in all.dsw. 
-       b) click FileView on the bottom of this window if you 
-          are not seeing "all files big files ......."
-       c) You need to modify settings of four projects: h4toh5, 
-          h4toh5dll,h5toh4 and h5toh4dll.
-          You also need to modify both debug and release 
-          versions.
- 
-          You may do as follows: 
-          c1)Right click the selected project and then click 
-             "Settings"
-          c2)A dialog box called "Project Settings" will be 
-             poped up
-          c3)On the upper-left part of the "Project Settings" 
-             box, you may find a small window "Settings for".
-             Make sure inside this "Settings for" box is either 
-             "Win32 Debug" or "Win32 Release". Change contents
-             into "Win32 Debug" or "Win32 Release" otherwise.
-             Remember the version(Win32 Release or Debug) you
-             chose.
-          c4)On the upper-right menu of the "Project Settings" 
-             window, find C/C++  and click it.
-          c5)Just below the upper-right menu, find a small 
-             window called category, make sure that 
-             "Preprocessor" appear in this window.
-          c6)In the middle of "Project Settings" windows, you 
-             may find a box called 
-             "Additional include directories:" . You may notice
-             "C:\hdf41r4\include" inside this box. This is the 
-             path where the default hdf4 header files is 
-             included. Replace only this path
-             (C:\hdf41r4\include) with your own path that
-             includes your hdf4 header files. Don't touch any 
-             other paths.
-          c7)After you've done this, click OK at the bottom of 
-             "Project Settings" window. 
-          c8)Repeat c1)-c7)but change contents of "settings 
-             for" in c3) from "Win32 Release" to "Win32 Debug" 
-             or vice versa.
-       d) repeat step c) for the other three projects.
-       
-       3.2 Replace the user's hdf and mfhdf libraries, export 
-         libraries of hdf and mfhdf DLLs
-
-	 You also need to modify four projects: h4toh5,   
-       h4toh5dll, h5toh4 and h5toh4dll:
-       a) select project h4toh5 following instruction 4.1 a) 
-          and b). 
-       b) click h4toh5, you may find four libraries: 
-          hm414d.lib,hd414d.lib and hm414.lib,hd414.lib 
-          attached under the project h4toh5. hm414d.lib and 
-          hd414d.lib are debug versions of mfhdf and hdf 
-          libraries. hm414.lib and hd414.lib are release 
-          versions of mfhdf and hdf libraries.
-       c) select these four libraries; go back to Edit menu and 
-          choose "delete" option to delete template of these 
-          libraries. 
-       d) select project h4toh5 and right click the mouse, find 
-          "Add Files to Projects", follow the instructions on 
-          the pop-up box, to insert your own hm414d.lib, 
-          hd414d.lib,hm414.lib and hd414.lib. You must know 
-          their paths at first.
-       e) select project h4toh5dll following instruction 4.1 a) 
-          and b).
-       f) click h4toh5dll, you may also find four libraries: 
-          hd414m.lib,hd414md.lib and hm414m.lib,hd414m.lib 
-          attached under the project h4toh5dll. These libraries 
-          are debug and release versions of Export libraries of 
-          mfhdf and hdf DLLs. 
-       g) select these four libraries; go back to Edit menu and 
-          choose "delete" option to delete template of these 
-          libraries. 
-       h) select project h4toh5dll and right click the mouse, 
-          find "Add Files to Projects", follow the instructions 
-          on the pop-up box, to insert your own hd414m.lib, 
-          hd414md.lib,hm414m.lib and hd414m.lib. You must know 
-          their paths at first.
-       i) repeat a)-h) for h5toh4 and h5toh4dll.
-
-    4. Select "Build", then Select "Set Active Configuration".

-                                   libraries, and tests.
-
-      
-       NOTE : "all" is a dummy target. You will get a link 
-              error when "all.exe." is built:

-             LINK: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
-			_mainCRTStartup.....
-             all.exe - 2 error(s), ....
-
-       Warning messages can be ignored. The "all.exe" is never 
-       created, so it is OK.
-
-       You should see hdf5 libraries, tests and tools under   
-       section II Step 1. 
-       In addtion, under  c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\tools\       
-
-       You may also find:
-         h4toh5
-         h5toh4 
-         h4toh5dll
-         h5toh4dll
-       for both the debug and release versions.
-
-STEP 2:   testing hdf5 libraries and all hdf5 tools 
-
-     1. hdf5 library testing 
-       Follow all instructions of the same part in Section II 
-       STEP 2
-    
-     2. non-hdf4 related tools testing
-       Follow all instructions of the same part in Section II 
-       STEP 2
-
-     3. hdf4-related tools testing
-
-       1) h4toh5 converter tool testing
-          
-           First cd into hdf5\tools
-
-           Go to a) b) c) or d) to test your chosen version
-
-           a) release static version
-           type:             
-            h4toh5testrun release >"Your output filename" 
-
- 	     b) release dll version
-           type:
-            h4toh5testrun release dll > "Your output filename"
- 				
-           c) debug static version
-           type: 
-            h4toh5testrun debug >"Your output filename"
-
-           d) debug dll version
-           type:
-            h4toh5testrun debug dll >"Your output filename"
-
-        We are using "fc" command to compare whether h4toh5 
-        converter converts the hdf4 file into the correct hdf5 
-        file.In your output files, Please only pay attention to 
-        those lines which start with
-        "FC:",you should find "FC: no differences encountered"  
-        for all tested hdf4 files in your output.
-                       
-        2) h5toh4 converter tool testing                
-                                                             
-        To test the h5toh4 utility, you need to have hdf4  
-        dumper utility "hdp" in your system.
-
-        Note: Currently h5toh4 release dll doesn't work
-        for all test cases possibly due to windows dealing
-        with "free memory" conventions for dll versions.      
-
-       1) If your hdp utility is located at C:\hdf41r4\bin,
-          you may skip this part. Otherwise, copy your hdp.exe
-          file into the directory where your hdf5 tools are 
-          located. For example, if your hdf5 tools directory is
-          C:\myHDFstuff\hdf5\tools; please copy hdp.exe into
-          this directory.
-       
-       2) cd into \...\hdf5\tools. 
-          Go to a) b) c) or d) to test your chosen version
-
-           a) release static version
-           type:             
-            h5toh4testrun release >"Your output filename" 
-
- 	     b) release dll version
-           type:
-            h5toh4testrun release dll > "Your output filename"
- 				
-           c) debug static version
-           type: 
-            h5toh4testrun debug >"Your output filename"
-
-           d) debug dll version
-           type:
-            h5toh4testrun debug dll >"Your output filename"
-
-        We are using "fc" command to compare whether h5toh4
-        converter converts the hdf5 file into the correct hdf4 
-        file.In your output files, Please only pay attention to 
-        those lines which start with
-        "FC:",you should find "FC: no differences encountered"
