+Welcome to the HDF5 Tutorial provided by the HDF User Support Group.
+<P>
+HDF5 is a file format and library for storing scientific data. 
+HDF5 was designed and implemented to address the deficiencies of HDF4.x. 
+It has a more powerful and flexible data model, supports files larger than 2 GB,
+supports parallel I/O, and is thread-safe. For a short overview presentation 
+of the HDF5 data model, library and tools see:
+<PRE>
+   <A HREF="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/HDF5_overview/index.htm">http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/HDF5_overview/index.htm</A>
+</PRE>
+This tutorial covers the basic HDF5 data objects and file structure, 
+the HDF5 programming model and the API functions necessary for creating and 
+modifying data objects. It also introduces the available HDF5 tools to access 
+HDF5 files.
+<P>
+The examples used in this tutorial, along with a Makefile to compile them
+can be found in <A HREF="./examples/">./examples/</A>. You can also download
+a <A HREF="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/training/other-ex5/examples.tar">tar 
+file</A> with the examples and Makefile.  In 
+order to use the Makefile you may have to edit it and update the 
+compiler and compiler options, as well as the path for the HDF5
+binary distribution. 
+<P>
+Please check the <A HREF="references.html">References</A> for where to find 
+other examples of HDF5 Programs.
+<P> 
+We hope that the step-by-step examples and instructions will give you a quick
+start with HDF5.
+<P>
+Please send your comments and suggestions to  hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
