RM_H5A.html H5Aread/write Added reference to data conversion limitations. RM_H5D.html H5Dwrite Added "Writing to an external dataset will fail if the HDF5 file is not open for writing." H5Dread/write Added reference to data conversion limitations. RM_H5F.html H5Fflush Added H5Fflush. RM_H5G.html H5Gget_stat Fixed formatting error. Added mtime to the description of the data structure. Added the following "Note:", per Robb's checkin mesage: "Some systems will be able to record the time accurately but unable to retrieve the correct time; such systems (e.g., Irix64) will report an mtime value of 0 (zero)." Corrected successful return value. H5Gset_comment Added the following statement to "Description:" "Comments can be attached to any object that has an object header, e.g., data sets, groups, named data types, and data spaces, but not symbolic links.

RM_H5S.html H5S_set_extent_simple Changed name to H5Sselect_extent_simple. now: H5Sselect_extent_simpl H5Sselect_npoints Corrected return value. Now: H5Sget_select_npoints H5Sget_class Reinstated to RM. Changed name. now: H5Sget_space_type H5Soffset_simple Added these 6 functions. The there is a H5Sextent_copy link to Dataspaces.html for the 10 "not yet H5Sset_extent_none implemented (NYI)" functions. H5Sselect_all H5Sselect_none H5Sselect_valid RM_H5T.html Added the following datatypes (though the list of native datatypes is commented out): H5T_NATIVE_HSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HSSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HERR H5T_NATIVE_HBOOL Tools.html Corrected h5ls and h5repart sections. Glossary.html Unlinked for Beta. Copyright.html New file. Copyright statement, linked into User's Guide and Reference Manual.
