Hi John,
Thanks for the code. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions because I'm having the same problem with your modules as I did with mine. Namely SDstart returns -1 when I try to open the file. What versions of HDF and OpenDX are you using? Did you compile either set yourself or use precompiled binaries? Would you mind sending putting a datafile on your ftp site so I can see if the problem is with my data?

Thanks,
Mike

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.

Hi All,
  I'm trying to write a runtime loadable module which uses the SD or
Multifile Scientific Data Interface to HDF 4.x.  The problem is that if
I use the SDstart command to open my file it returns an error code.  If
I use the DFSD or Single-file Scientific Data Interface I can open the
file, but I loose the random access features which make HDF so useful.
Has anyone else had any success with writing HDF 4.x modules which use
the SD interface?
  Another option would be to use an outboard module (which worked for
4.1.3), but I'm encountering the previously reported problems with
outboard modules for version greater than 4.2.
  Any assistance is greatly appreciated since I'm growing desperate.

Thanks,
Mike
