Quincey Koziol d456c2bb82 [svn-r4643] Purpose:
Code cleanup
Description:
    Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in
    the library.  Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is
    64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
    the smaller ones without checking for overflow.

    Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.

Solution:
    Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
    overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
    casts.

    Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into
    the the library code a bit better.

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)

HDF5 version 1.5.16 currently under development
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt 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.

Four 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.

   hdf5cvs      - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
		  not a discussion list.

To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5 

Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".

Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
    ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.

The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/

Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
