HDF Web-browser Plugin

We are pleased to announce the HDF Web-browser Plugin. This software will extend a web browser to display HDF4 and HDF5 files. This first version of the HDF Web-browser Plugin is for Windows Only. It can be downloaded from the following page:

http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/plugins/

The HDF Web-browser Plugin is different from HDFView. Unlike HDFView, it is a 'light browser', with less browsing features and no editing features. It is also not an applet. It is downloaded and installed once, whereas an applet is downloaded with each invocation.

This product is new, and is therefore not extensively tested. If you encounter any problems with it, please let us know!
