Hi all,

I think I know the answer to this but want to check 
what experts have to say anyway. 

I have a 1-dimensional dataset in a file whose elements
are multi-dimensional arrays (say [32][256][256]). All 
together this looks like one large 4-dimesional array 
(almost). Is there a way to read subsets of those 
3-dimensional arrays into memory without reading whole
array? (I guess not) 

Hyperslabs allow me to select only 1 dimension for the
dataset itself, I guess what I want to do is to extend 
the hyperslab to the elements of the dataset which 
are arrays themselves. I could not see anything in 
documentation saying this is possible or impossible,
but my guess is that selection does not extend inside 
single elements. Is that so?

Andy
