Hi Roger, I have OS Windows XP Professional running on my machine with WINRAR compression software. I tried accordingly as george advised to change the extension but same error. here I noticed that saved file with .hdf extension is appearing with HDF view icon. I tried reinstalling HDF view but problem remains same.
Kindly advise, is there any other interface i can use to view these HDF files?
