Robb Matzke a2db22ab74 [svn-r1023] Changes since 19990105
----------------------

./INSTALL
./doc/html/Compression.html
./doc/html/Filters.html
	Disassociated GNU from zlib.  Did not change the introduction
	which incorrectly states that compression in hdf5 is available
	only if GNU gzip is available (should read zlib).

	Changed a typo in INSTALL to match what is documented in
	various other places: that zlib 1.1.2 (not 1.0.2) or better is
	required for compression.

	Added a reference to the main zlib web page in various places.

./src/H5Fistore.c
	Fixed a typo in a comment.

./src/H5Flow.c
	Removed carriage returns from the end of lines.

./test/dsets.c
	The deflate compression tests are still run but `-SKIP-' is
	printed instead of `PASSED' if the zlib library was not
	detected at configuration time. The tests check that the
	compression layer (H5Z) is correctly bypassed.

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.
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 "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
(e.g., hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu) 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".
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.
