    • Release of Fortran 90 Prototype for HDF5-1.2.2

     The latest version of the Fortran 90 prototype, tested with HDF5-1.2.2, is now available from the NCSA ftp server: 
        ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/fortran/
    This prototype was tested on the following platforms:

          DEC Alpha OSF1 version 4.0
          IRIX64 6.5 (-64 bit option)
          IRIX64 6.5 (-64 bit option) parallel -- NOT fully tested **
          Linux RedHat 6.1, Kernel 2.2.12
          Solaris 2.6 and 2.7

      **The parallel IRIX64 6.5 version was ONLY tested for "proof of concept".

    Pre-compiled binaries are available for the platforms tested, under: 

        ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/fortran/bin/
    The updated Reference Manual for the Fortran 90 API is also available:
