<BIG><B>NOTE:</B></BIG> &nbsp;  
This tutorial does NOT include the software needed to compile the
examples. You will need to obtain this first:<P>
<UL>
    <B>C:</B>
<UL>Obtain the HDF5 library.  We provide pre-compiled binaries for the
platforms on which we tested at
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/bin">ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/bin</A>.
If using the pre-compiled binaries you must
also obtain the GZIP library, as they were compiled with GZIP included, but do 
not include this library.  We provide the GZIP library for the platforms on
which we 
tested at: &nbsp; 
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/gzip/">ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/gzip/</A>
</UL>
<P>

    <B>FORTRAN90</B>:
<UL>
Obtain the 
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/bin">HDF5 libraries</A>,
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/gzip/">GZIP library</A>, and
the HDF5 Fortran90 library. Currently we only provide the source code
for the HDF5 Fortran90 library at: &nbsp; 

<A HREF="ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/fortran/">ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/fortran/</A>
<P>
The HDF5 Fortran90 library  was tested on Solaris, IRIX64, and Digital Unix.
</UL>
 <BR>   
   <B>Java</B>:  &nbsp; &nbsp;You will need the JHI5 code.  Go to the 
<A HREF="/java-hdf5-html">Java HDF5 web page</A>
for more details.
