scientific data. Together, the interfaces, libraries, and format support
the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data.
-NetCDF data is:
+Optional HDF4 support
+---------------------
- * Self-Describing. A netCDF file includes information about the
- data it contains.
- * Portable. A netCDF file can be accessed by computers with different
- ways of storing integers, characters, and floating- point numbers.
- * Scalable. A small subset of a large dataset may be accessed
- efficiently.
- * Appendable. Data may be appended to a properly structured netCDF
- file without copying the dataset or redefining its structure.
- * Sharable. One writer and multiple readers may simultaneously access
- the same netCDF file.
- * Archivable. Access to all earlier forms of netCDF data will be
- supported by current and future versions of the software.
+If you need support for reading HDF4 files, please build and install the 'hdf'
+package from SlackBuilds.org, and then pass the option 'HDF4=yes' to the netcdf
+SlackBuild, for example
-The netCDF software was developed by Glenn Davis, Russ Rew, Ed Hartnett,
-John Caron, Steve Emmerson, and Harvey Davies at the Unidata Program
-Center in Boulder, Colorado, with contributions from many other netCDF
-users.
