function h5ex_d_extern
%**************************************************************************
%
%   This example shows how to read and write data to an
%   external dataset.  The program first writes integers to an
%   external dataset with dataspace dimensions of DIM0xDIM1,
%   then closes the file.  Next, it reopens the file, reads
%   back the data, and outputs the name of the external data
%   file and the data to the screen.
%
%   This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.8
