<hr class="first" >
<p class="note">Notes:</p>
<p>1. This instruction is written for users who would like to build HDF5
      libraries and tools from the HDF5 source code package on command
      line.
</p>
<p>2. Currently, we support:</p>		
		<ul class="intable">		
		<li><p>(1) Building and testing HDF5 on command line with Microsoft Visual 
         C++ 6.0 and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.0.</p>

         Microsoft Visual C++ .Net (2003)</p>		
         <li><p>(3) Building and testing HDF5 C and C++ Library on command line with
         Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 integration with Microsoft Visual C++ .Net
         2003.</p>
         <p>For all other Windows development tools, HDF5 should be built in the development environment.  
         Please refer to<span class="filename"> INSTALL_Windows.txt</span> for detailed HDF5 building and installation information, or 
					<span class="filename">INSTALL_Windows_short_*.txt</span> for quick HDF5 building and installation instructions.
				</p>		
				<li><p>(4) Different compiler is using different batch files on command line 
				to build HDF5 Libraries.</p>

	<ul class="intable">		
		<li><h4>1.1 Install WinZip command line support add-on 1.1</h4>			
				<p>Download WinZip command line support add-on 1.1 from <a href="http://www.winzip.com" target="_blank">http://www.winzip.com</a>			   and install it.			 </p>		<li><h4>1.2 Add WinZip into environment path</h4>			<p>Open 
        <span class="filename">"System"</span> in Control Panel.
				On the <span class="filename">"Advanced"</span> tab, click 
        <span class="filename">"Environment Variables"</span>, click
				<span class="filename">&quot;Path&quot; </span>in the<span class="filename">
