-************************************************************************
-Note: This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
-      libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
-      line. We no longer support building HDF5 using Microsoft Visual 
-	  Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio VS2005 or Intel Fortran 91.
-         
-      Currently, we support:
-      
-      1. Building and testing HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries on command line with 
-         Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for 32- or 64-bit Windows.
-         
-      2. Building and testing HDF5 C/C++/Fortran libraries and utilities using
-         CMake tools. Refer to the CMAKE.txt file for detailed information.
-      
-      For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in
-      the development environment.  Please refer to INSTALL_Windows.txt
-      for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or 
-      INSTALL_Windows_Short_VS2008.txt for quick HDF5 building and installation
-      instructions.
-                        
-WARNINGS:
-
-Please read CAREFULLY about HDF5 build and install preconditions and 
-notes in INSTALL_Windows.txt before starting below procedures.
-
-
-========================================================================
-   Section I: Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft 
-              Visual Studio
-========================================================================
-    
-1. Preconditions: 
-
-   1.1 Verify environment for Visual Studio
-   
-   Building from the command line requires environment variables for Visual
-   Studio.  These are generally setup when Visual Studio is installed, but you
-   can verify by running the command:
-        
-        echo %vs90comntools%
-        
-    This should output a path similar to:
-    
-        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\Tools\
-        
-   1.2 Run batch file copy_hdf.bat.
-
-   Go to  c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat.
-   
-   1.3 Setup evironment for external libraries
-   
-   Similarly to building from within Visual Studio, HDF5 requires environment
-   variables for szip and zlib library names.  To define these environment 
-   variables:
-
-   From the command prompt that you will be building HDF5 from, issue the
-   following command:
-   
-        set HDF5_EXT_ZLIB=zlib1.lib
-        
-    replacing "zlib1.lib" with the name of the zlib library on your system.
-    Similarly, set HDF5_EXT_SZIP to the name of the szip library on your system.
-    
-    (Optional) If you will be building using the /useenv switch, you must also
-    define variables INCLUDE and LIB with a semi-colon deliminated list of
-    paths for szip and zlib include files and libraries, respectively.  Set
-    these variables in the same way you set HDF5_EXT_ZLIB and HDF5_EXT_SZIP.
-
-      
-2. Building and testing HDF5 libraries and tools
-
-   We provide 2 options for users to build and test HDF5 libraries 
-   and tools.
-      
-    2.1 Options A: Build and test in one step 
-      
-         A batch file named hdf5bt.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory is 
-         provided for users to build and test HDF5 library and tools together 
-         from command line.
-
-        hdf5bt file takes the following options:
-              /vs9              Build HDF5 using Visual Studio 2008
-              /fort             Build and test HDF5 with Fortran libraries
-              /ivf101           Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 10.1
-              /useenv           Build HDF5 using compiler settings defined
-                                in the environment, rather than the IDE.
-              /?                Help information
-
-            If you specify the "/useenv" option, then include and library
-            directories for szip and zlib must have been set in the
-            Preconditions above.
-            
-            Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5bt.  Users are 
-            encouraged to pipe the test output into a file.  You should find no 
-            compilation errors or "*FAILED*" marks.
-
-    2.2 Options B: Build and test in two steps 
-
-         We also provide users with the option to build and test HDF5 libraries 
-         and tools seperately.
-   
-         Step 1) Build HDF5 Libraries and Tools
-
-            A batch file named hdf5build.bat in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 
-            directory is provided for users to build HDF5 library and 
-            tools from command line.
-
-        hdf5build takes the following options:
-              /vs9              Build HDF5 using Visual Studio 2008
-              /fort             Build HDF5 with Fortran libraries
-              /ivf101           Build HDF5 Fortran using Intel Visual Fortran 10.1
-              /nodebug          Build HDF5 release versions only
-                                Note: Default is to build debug and release versions
-              /useenv           Build HDF5 using compiler settings defined
-                                in the environment, rather than the IDE.
-              /?                Help information
-            
-            If you specify the "/useenv" option, then include and library
-            directories for szip and zlib must have been set in the
-            Preconditions above.
-            
-            Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5build.  Users are 
-            encouraged to pipe the test output into a file.  You can check 
-            the file to find out whether there are any compilation errors.
-
-         Step 2) Test HDF5 Libraries and Tools
-   
-            HDF5 comes with various test suites, all of which can be tested with 
-            hdf5check.bat batch file in c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5 directory.
-
-            hdf5check batch file can be run with one of the following four options:
-
-              hdf5check                  Test HDF5 C library and tools only.
-
-              hdf5check enablecpp        Test HDF5 C/C++ libraries and tools.
-
-              hdf5check enablefortran    Test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and 
-                                         tools.  To use this option, HDF5 
-                                         Fortran libraries must have been built.
-
-              hdf5check enableall        Test HDF5 C/Fortran libraries and 
-                                         tools.  To use this option, HDF5 
-                                         Fortran libraries must have been built.
-
-			  nodebug option can be added to any of the above options to only
-			  test the release versions.
-			  
-            Invoke a command prompt window and run hdf5check with appropriate 
-            option.  Users are encouraged to pipe the test output into a file.  
-            You should find no "*FAILED*" marks.
-

-
-========================================================================
-          Building HDF5 C/C++ Libraries with Visual Studio 2008
-========================================================================
-
-   1. Run batch file copy_hdf.bat
-
-      Go to  c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows and run copy_hdf.bat. This process will 
-      copy all the necessary batch files, windows specific source codes and 
-      text files saved under c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows directory to the 
-      corresponding directories under hdf5.
-
-   2. Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio compiler
-
-      Invoke Microsoft Visual Studio.  From the main menu, go to "File" and 
-      select the "Open Solution" option. Then open the
-      c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all\all.sln solution if you are building
-      without Fortran libraries, or 
-      c:\MyHDFstuff\hdf5\windows\proj\all_fortran\all_fortran.sln if you would
-      like to use Fortran.
-
-      You should find Windows project files listed as "all", "big", etc. on the
-      left.
-
-
-   3. (Optional) Disable HDF5 C++ and High level C++
-   
-      In HDF5 1.8, C++ and HL C++ libraries are built by default.  To opt-out,
-      you must explicitly disable them.
-
-      3.1 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level C++ libraries
-
-          Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies".  Select "all", and 
-          disable all of the following projects:
-
-            hdf5_hl_cpp
-            hdf5_hl_cppdll
-            hl_test_table_cpp
-            hl_test_table_cppdll
-      
-      3.2 Skip this step if you do want to build HDF5 High-Level libraries
-
-          Go to "Project" and select "Project Dependencies".  Select "all", and 
-          disable all of the project files listed in the previous step, as well

-             hl_test_imagedll
-             hl_test_lite
-             hl_test_litedll
-             hl_test_table
-             hl_test_tabledll
-             hl_test_ds
-             hl_test_dsdll
-             hl_test_packet
-             hl_test_packetdll
-   
-   Click on "OK", From the main menu, choose "Build"-> "Build" or  
-   "Rebuild ALL" to build both release and debug version of HDF5   
-   Libraries.
