"New" document
Description:
Raymond has prepared and added a new document reporting his
experience of using HDF5 with OpenMP. It was checked in as

not for the MS-IE.
Solution:
I renamed the file from openmp-test.txt to openmp-hdf5.html,
added in simple mind html control statement (<pre>), added
an entry to the TechNote.html so that it can be found with
other technical notes.
Platforms tested:
Viewed by MS-IE.

Feature symmetry

attributes.
