Since this routine was developed by someone else (Darren Gallant of
UCAR/JOSS), and since Darren has done a lot of work since that email
(which was in October of 2001), I think that it would be better to get
the latest source directly from him (please CC Unidata Support):

I am CCing Darren on this reply, so he should be aware of your interest
in his conversion routine.

I would like to add that if your HDF imagery is in EOSDIS format, then
McIDAS can do the conversions to AREA.  In McIDAS this is as simple as
defining an input EOSDIS HDF dataset and an output one of type AREA and
then using IMGCOPY to copy the image from one dataset to the other.
The conversion is done on the fly.

Cheers,

Tom
