Purpose: H5Pset_shuffle -- Add note regarding intended use. H5Pset_szip -- Correct options mask list. Copy edits. Description: H5Pset_shuffle -- Added note that the shuffle filter is designed to be used with in combination a compression filter. H5Pset_szip -- Changed 'szip' to 'SZIP' in running text. Removed RAW_OPTIONS_MASK, LSB_OPTIONS_MASK, and MSB-OPTIONS_MASK from options maks list as they are not available for user control. Added 'H5_SZIP_' prefix to all remaining option tags. Made corresponding changes to running text, removing or revising mentions of deleted option tags. Platforms tested: IE 5
