I. README.txt Line 5: "HDFView 2.10 that was compiled on;" 1. Should 2.10 be 2.10.1? 2. ";" at the end should be ":" (colon instead of semi-colon) II. Running HDFView-2.10.1-Linux.sh 1. "Copyright (c) HDF_Group" Is "HDF_Group" the correct way? The documentation team might need to look over this. 2. The arrangement of these paragraphs is a bit confusion: --- begin of excerpt --- HDFView Installer Version: 2.10.1, Copyright (c) HDF_Group This is a self-extracting archive. The archive will be extracted to: /mnt/hdf/bmribler/srcdir/hdfview_testing/hdf-java-2.10.1 If you want to stop extracting, please press .

All rights reserved. --- end of excerpt --- Perhaps, adding a blank line after "please press ." and combining the next two lines might help. I don't know, maybe wait and see if others notice too. 3. At the question: "Do you accept the license? [yN]:" we see yN, then later Yn. Why the cases in yN and Yn are inconsistent and switched like that? Is it intentional? III. After installation 1. What is HDF_Group, the middle folder between HDFView-2.10.1-Linux and HDFView? It's not mentioned in README.txt. 2. As a result, the reference of HDFView in README.txt became confusing. 3. HDFJavaExamples-0.1.1-Source.tar.gz is not directly in HDFView, but two levels down, i.e., HDFView/2.10.1/share, another confusion. Same issue for HDFJAVA_Examples.cmake. 4. In the phrase: "The HDFJAVA_Examples.cmake expects hdf-java/HDFView to have been...", where did hdf-java come from? 5. I got the error: --- begin of error --- CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:67 (FIND_PACKAGE): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "HDFJAVA" with any of the following names: hdf-javaConfig.cmake hdf-java-config.cmake Add the installation prefix of "HDFJAVA" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "HDFJAVA_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "HDFJAVA" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:72 (MESSAGE): HDFJAVA is Required for HDFJAVA Examples --- end of error --- Would putting this kind of instruction in the steps to test the installation make it simpler for the tester/user? I feel it's easier to follow the instructions in a flow than now getting the error then having to backtrack your steps to fix the problem. If user needs to go read something else in order to do those steps, then such note should be inside those steps, so after reading additional material, the user can go back to the point where the pause occurs. 6. Few more typos: * "To test the installation with the examples;" <-- ';' vs. ':' * "If you wish the to see more build..." I don't know what it's supposed to be. 7. A couple minor editing suggestions: * For more information see USING_CMake_Examples.txt in the install folder. Maybe: For more information, see USING_CMake_Examples.txt in the install folder. * The use of the double line ======================== across the page is inconsistent. In some cases, it seemed to be the underline of the text above, and in other cases, it seemed to be the divider between sections.
