+Section XI: How to build HDF5 in Visual studio 2005 on windows 64-bit platform
+========================================================================
+ Currently we only support HDF5 as an 32-bit application on windows 64-bit
+platform.
+
+ The building procedure is almost the same as building HDF5 on .Net 2003.
+ You may need to pay attention to the following reminders:
+ 1) To use zlib or szlib compression packages:
+ Use zlib 1.2.2 DLL provided at
+ ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/lib-external/zlib/1.2/bin/zlib122-windows.tar.gz
+ Use szlib 2.0 DLL provided at
+ ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/lib-external/szip/2.0/bin/windows/xp-net/
+ 2) Make sure that WIN32 macro is set at visual studio 2005.
+ 3) You may use _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to disable the warnings.
+ Please refer to Section VI: How to build HDF5 in Visual Studio .Net 2003.
