I too have noticed both these observations under Win32. The first
(picking the correct calling convention) was in 1.3.0 as well. I
don't remember if it occured before that. I see it when using either
MSVC++ or CBuilder. Maybe the default convention is for the GNU compiler?

I could not use the 1.3.1 API untill I had edited the header file to select
the appropriate calling convention for my PC (winNT C++)</font>

As for the problem with the fortner browser, I've never gotten it to crash,
but if there are a large number of groups, it can take a very long time
to forever to open the file. This has actually scared some people
in my group away from Nexus because they think the long time it can take
the browser to open files is a sign of how slow HDF is as a file system.
I've only seen these long file read times with the fortner browser, however.
My homebrew code reads and writes files as fast as can be expected.

else found this?</font>
