% This example shows how to read and write compound
% datatypes to a dataset. The program first writes
% compound structures to a dataset with a dataspace of DIM0,
% then closes the file. Next, it reopens the file, reads
% back the data, and outputs it to the screen.
%
% This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library verion 1.6
