[R-sig-Geo] What is the latest re: reading HDF files with R?

[Andy Jacobson]

Hi Rick,

We've had success building an "hdfdump"--which is just ncdump from  
the standard netcdf package, configured to link with the hdf4 libs,  
then:

hdfdump foo.hdf|ncgen -b -o foo.nc

Then, of course, the excellent ncdf package can read it all in.

Best of luck,

Andy
