	Changed memory allocation functions so they fail instead of
	dumping core.  The `x' was removed from the name to remind us
	of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc.

	H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of
	two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1'
	for one of the arguments anyway.  The only difference between
	the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which
	is initialized to zero.

./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
	Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used.

./src/H5Fistore.c
	Fixed a bug found by Albert.  Thanks, Albert!  This fix
	combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the
	library from failing an assertion if the application uses an
	unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4).

./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
	Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an
	undefined address is allowed.

This is the hdf5-1.0.0a alpha release of the HDF5 library.
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.
Three mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
(e.g., hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.ed) with "subscribe <your e-mail
address> in the _body_ of the message. Messages to be sent to
the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Bugs should be reported to hdf5dev@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
