Dear Chandra Users,

Version 0.3.7 of the SLang HDF5 module is now available:

   http://space.mit.edu/cxc/software/slang/modules/slh5

The new features in this module include:

   1. New h5_list() function, which is analogous to the h5dump utility.
   2. All datasets or attributes in a given container may now be read
        with a single h5_read() call, by specifying the "*" wildcard.
   3. Paths to objects may be colon-appended to the file names passed to
        h5_read() & h5_open(), allowing a file + group/dataset/attribute
        to be opened/read in a single call. For example,

                a = h5_read("test.h5:/group/dataset/","attribute")

   4. Minor enhancements to the documentation.

A brief description of the HDF5 file format, I/O library, and S-Lang
module may be found in the previous Chandra users group post at:

Happy Holidays,
Mike
