From 0357b5ad527e074238324d0985e38f3ba94ed9f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Pourmal Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:17:05 -0500 Subject: [svn-r19148] Maintenance: Removed misleading information about the HDF4-to-HDF5 tools. The tools became a part of the h4h5tools distribution long time ago, but the INSTALL file was not updated in the development branch and slipped into 1.8 releases and current trunk. --- release_docs/INSTALL | 22 ++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/release_docs/INSTALL b/release_docs/INSTALL index 3b84354..7b350e0 100644 --- a/release_docs/INSTALL +++ b/release_docs/INSTALL @@ -370,14 +370,12 @@ CONTENTS LDFLAGS=-L/home/robb/lib \ ./configure - HDF5 uses the zlib library for two purposes: it provides support - for the HDF5 deflate data compression filter, and it is used by - the h5toh4 converter and the h4toh5 converter in support of - HDF4.
