HDF5 was designed and implemented to address the deficiencies of HDF4.x. It has a more powerful and flexible data model, supports files larger than 2 GB, and supports parallel I/O. [ Justification: Brian has not been around for quite a while. His last message (from July) gives someone else permission to adopt one of his packages (see #151708). I guess it's best for Debian to orphan all of is packages. Wolfie, sorry I have to do this to you, and I hope you are still out there, alive and kicking! ] -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
