Hi, I've written a runtime loadable hdf 4 import module designed for single file SD data - I've put the code on our ftp site: ftp.soc.soton.ac.uk It can be found here: /pub/jods/opendx/importhdf.tar.gz
The code contains makefiles for IRIX, Solaris, and linux - see importhdf.make.[platform]. The code imports array data from a file, taking a start, stride and edge as vectors. It attempts to assign the axes to X,Y,Z,T in a similar method to the ferret package for netcdf data. There are some hacks in there specifically for our ocean model data sets - sorry.
