HDF 4.2r0 and Borland C++   (01/27/04)
...
I succeeded to run the application, programmed with Borland Builder 4 and
HDF 4.2 release libraries. I couldn't build my own libraries with Borland,
the number of differences between MSVC and Borland made this impossible.
However, I found that pre-compiled DLL libraries from the binary
distribution are usable after the steps, well documented on this website:
http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/implib.html
Now I have two libraries (myhd420.lib and myhm420.lib), original DLL files
are located in WinNT directory and original include files. In Borland the
include is usual:
Projects -> Options -> Directories -> Include -> add your Include directory
path
Projects -> Add to project -> Add customized library files.

Now it works, but only for relatively short data series (HDF file is about
20 Mb). But, if I try to run the same program with longer dataset, that is
produced by the software and writes it in HDF format, I have one problem.
The software gets at some point an error from VSattach command, I mean that
vdata_id = VSattach (file_id, vdata_ref, "w") returns FAIL (vdata_id = -1).
I checked it and the file_id is fine, the same file already includes a
number of Vdata objects and some global attributes and not clear why it
happens at the same point. It looks like memory limit problem or something
like this, but I am not sure.
