Lynton, I'm forwarding the only thing I've found on why data of variable-length type in HDF5 is not compressed, and what the future prospects are for removing this restriction. This email is from Quincey Koziol, the primary developer of HDF5, so I think it's authoritative. We still need to document this restriction. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: XYO-599400 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
