after further testing of this, I have verified that I can successfully read
past the 2GB point if the data is actually held within the HDF5 file itself.
So, it appears that the problem is confined to cases where the raw data is
held in an external file.

Can you give me an idea of when this problem could be looked at? If it may
take some time, I need to find a workaround. Unfortunately I am confined to
using the windows platform. I would also prefer not to have to import my raw
data into an HDF file either. This was one of the attractive features of HDF
that I could use it to create a wrapper around pre-existing binary files.

Best Regards

Paul
