Writing array of variable length data (strings, floats, ints, etc) is in our

need more resources to complete the work.
I certainly understand that! In the meantime, it would be nice to get clear error 
messages ("not implemented yet") for missing features, or at least have a list 
of them somewhere in the documentation. Since I started my current project, I spent more 
than half of my time on analyzing strange behavior that was ultimately due to 
unimplemented features. I am seriously considering giving up on the HDF Object layer and 
use the low-level libraries directly, just to get rid of the bad surprises.

Konrad.
