+		Installation Instructions for Remote-Accessing HDF5 
+
+I. Overview
+-----------
+This file contains instructions for remote-accessing HDF5.  The SGI IRIX64 6.5 
+has been tested.  If you have difficulties installing the software in your 
+system, please send mail to
+        hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu
+In your mail, please enclose the output of "uname -a".  Also attach the
+content of "config.log" if you have run the "configure" command.
+
+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'.  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 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/GLOBUS/a.h5
+   There are other programs called 'gass_write' and 'gass_append' used for 
+   experiments.  They don't work for current Globus-GASS.
