Thanks for the link. I watched the whole press announcement. It is fantastic to see the discovery opens a new window into the universe. It is also beautiful that HDF5 is used successfully for the LIGO data.

Thanks a lot for the links; visualization is amazing! I would also like to thank you for support you provided to our group during all those years. All, The first release of HDF5 was in November 1998. Only visionaries could see the HDF5 potential at that time and believe that it would work many years after, and have so much patience with us :-) Elena P.S. No patch is left behind. Once again - Thank you for your patience! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elena Pourmal The HDF Group http://hdfgroup.org 1800 So.
