Paul Harten 96106282bb [svn-r564] Purpose:
New feature

Problem:
    Source code must be modified prior to compiling to allow full
    filenames to contain preferred user directories. Source must be
    recompiled everytime the preferred user directory changes.

Solution:
    Instead, allow file prefixes preferred by user to be passed at
    runtime using the arguments "-f <prefix>".  The "-f" to signal the
    next argument is to be a file prefix, and the "<prefix>" to be the
    actual prefix used.

Platform tested:
    ASCI Red

		-------------------
		(last update: Aug 3rd 1998)

This directory holds tests for the parallel HDF5 library.  It is in
its "infancy" and is not integrated with the rest of the HDF5 software
yet.  It will be smothed out in the next release.

Steps to compile and test:

1a) Makefile.irix64 is one that works for IRIX64 -64 platform.
    You may use it as a template to create Makefile for other platforms.

1b) Makefile.ascired is one that works for the ASCI Red platform.

2) "make all -f Makefile.xxxxx >&! make.out1" creates testphdf5.

3) "make test -f Makefile.xxxxx >&! make.out2" runs testphdf5.

    When running "make test -f Makefile.xxxxx" the line that executes is:
    $(RUN) testphdf5 $(TEST_FLAGS)
    
    For the ASCI Red users:
      In the file Makefile.ascired, the variables RUN and TEST_FLAGS are:

      RUN=yod -sz 8
      TEST_FLAGS=-f "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/your_own"
    
      The TEST_FLAGS variable contains an optional file prefix which needs
      to be changed to your own Intel PFS directory name.
 
      /* change "your_own" to your own directory name */
 
      RUN=yod -sz 8
      TEST_FLAGS=-f "pfs:/pfs/multi/tmp_1/my_dir"

      After the above change to Makefile.ascired, upon execution of
      "make test -f Makefile.ascired >&! make.out2",
      the prefix will be attached to filenames in testphdf5 at execution.
