+	    Installation instructions for Parallel HDF5
+	    -------------------------------------------
+		(last updated: Feb 15, 1998)
+
+This file contains instructions for the installation of parallel
+HDF5.  Platforms supported by this release are SGI Origin 2000
+and IBM SP2.  The steps are kind of unnatural and will be more
+automized in the next release.   If you have difficulties installing
+the software in your system, please send mail to
+	hdfparallel@ncsa.uiuc.edu
+
+First, you must obtain and unpack the HDF5 source as
+described in the file INSTALL.  You also need to obtain the
+information of the include and library paths of MPI and MPIO
+software installed in your system since the parallel HDF5 library
+uses them for parallel I/O access.
+
+For an IBM SP2 system, follow the instructions in INSTALL.ibm.sp.parallel.
+For an SGI Origin 2000 system, use the following shell commands.  (The
+one shown here is what works in the NCSA O2K machine in which MPI library
+is installed in system area but no official MPIO software is available.
+I use a private installation of ROMIO for it.)
