Re: HDF 4 and HDF-EOS in Java netcdf 4.0!

Hi Peter:

You are very welcome! I too, have been waiting for some way to read these files
without using the rather cumbersome HDF / HDF-EOS libraries. Finally I just
finally did it myself, since it fit well into the cdm framework we have been
developing.

A few caveats: I have tested against every HDF file I can get my hands on, but
im sure there are still some problems to be found. Please try it out and send
any problems to me. Also, identifying HDF-EOS coordinate systems is ongoing
work which we've only just started.

I will be releasing the latest 4.0 version tommorrow, so if you are planning on
trying it, you should download then.
