This directory contains patch files for the latest HDF release. 
This directory is empty (no files in it) when a release is new.

Each time a bug is fixed, the modification (bug fix) will be reflected 
in a patch file in this directory and logged in "PATCHLOG".   

Instructions on applying the patches can be found at the top of
each patch file.

There are two subdirectories in "patchedsrc/": "hdf/" and "mfhdf/", 
corresponding to the subdirectories in unpacked.  These directories 
contain the latest patched files.

Users should check this directory and decide if they need to update 
their source code or not. If they do, they should download the patch file(s) 
and patch the source code using the patch files according to numerical
order.

Please contact hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu for questions and suggestions.
