File Descriptions:
c_sample.c	A sample program written in C that shows
		how to access the data using a C program.
		This program illustrates how to use the functions 
		{c,f}readpathP.{c,f}.  Instead of writing the data 
		out in binary format, the user may pass the data to 
		another processing routine thereby avoiding the need 
		to make copies of the HDF formatted data set.

fortran_sample.f	A sample program written in Fortran that
			shows how to access the data using a Fortran
			program.

  creadpathP_sample.c   A function written in C that returns the
                         data contained in the HDF file.

  fpreadpathP_sample.f  A function written in Fortran that returns the
                         data contained in the HDF file.

Programs for reading Path P ancillary data file (pathp_ancil.hdf):

  c_ancil.c		A program written in C that shows how to
			access the ancillary data using a C program.
			This program is meant as an illustration
			of how to use the functions {c,f}readpathP.{c,f}.
			Instead of writing the data out in binary
			format the user may pass the data to another
			processing routine, thereby avoiding the need of
			making copies of the HDF formatted data set.

  fortran_ancil.f	A program written in Fortran that shows how
			to access the ancillary data using a Fortran
			program.

  creadpathP_ancil.c	A function written in C that returns the
			data contained in the HDF file.

  freadpathP_ancil.f	A function written in Fortran that returns the
			data contained in the HDF file.

Instructions for compiling programs:

Requirements:
	HDF libraries (Version 3.3 or higher). Source code or compiled
	versions are available for most architectures from.
	http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/obtain.html
	Ansi- C compatible C compiler if compiling C programs.
	Fortan 77 compiler for fortran programs.

- Edit the Makefile. Look for the switches for your architecture/operating system.

- Check for Comments in the *.f source file. Some compilers define
	record lengths in either bytes or longwords. You may have to
	modify the source accordingly.
