- The files in the directories below have been archived with the UNIX
- "tar" command, compressed with the "compress" command, and chopped
- into pieces no larger than 100,000 bytes. (The chopping is done
- because some systems do not allow ftp transfer of files larger than
- approximately 100Kb.) To reconstitute the compressed tar file, simply
- concatenate all the files in the directory into one "tarfile." Under
- UNIX, this can be accomplished with the following command:
-
- cat *part* > XXX.tar.Z
-
- Where "XXX" is the name of the tarfile. (This name should be obvious
- from the names of the chopped files.) Then the file may be
- uncompressed with:
-
- uncompress XXX.tar.Z
-
- And un-tar-ed with:
-
- tar xvf XXX.tar
-
- After un-tar-ing the files, you should see a new directory called
- "HDF3.2r2" under your current directory. If you "cd" into that directory,
- there is a README.FIRST and an INSTALL.TOP file to direct you in building the
- HDF library and, if you like, the HDF utilities and test programs.
