see the text for h5toh4 problem
Solution:
document in the release file
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Purpose:
bug fix for h5toh4 converter test batch file and add install example batch file
Description:
The previous h5toh4 test batch file is complicated and easy to make mistakes for
testers, rewrite h5toh4 test batch file

Bug Fix
Description:
The 'carry' variable in the general floating point-to-floating point
conversion routine wasn't getting initialized correctly and was causing
problems while converting certain sequences of floating point numbers
on the Cray SV1.
Solution:
Added 'else carry=0;' line to always reset the carry variable to a known
value.
Platforms tested:
Cray SV1 (killeen)
Purpose:
Extracted code examples from document file so that examples
can be displayed in separate window and viewed in parallel
with reading the doument.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
"Bug fix"
Description:
It could not create the stream file in modi4 because port 5678 is used by
a recently installed application in modi4. But the reading side just
waited there and the two test processes have to be killed by hand.
Solution:
Changed to use port 10007 instead, hoping less chance of conflict
with other applications. Just a short-term solution.
Platforms tested:
modi4.
Purpose:
Update.
Description:
NERSC T3e OS version number has been changed. Refelected this update
in the appropriate section of the file.
Added a sentence about fixed conversion bug to the "Bugs fixed since ...-beta2" section.

finding this one!
