       _r_._o_u_t_._h_d_f allows a user to create  a  data  file  in  NCSA
       Hierarchical  Data  Format  (HDF)  from	an existing GRASS
       raster file.

       NCSA  HDF  is  a multi-object file format developed by The
       National Center for Supercomputing Applications	at  Cham-
       paign,  Illinois  for the transfer of graphical and float-
       ing-point data between machines.  The format defines  both
       a  raster  type	and a SDS type.  The later is basically a
       highly  structured  multi-dimensional  array  of  floating
       point values.  A single HDF file may contain more than one
       SDS, but using _r_._o_u_t_._h_d_f will create  a	single	HDF  file
       containing  a  single  2-dimensional  SDS.  The HDF raster
       format consists of a palette and a 2D array of 8-bit  num-
       bers,  but _r_._o_u_t_._h_d_f does not yet create this format file,
       so color tables are not transferrable.


       NCSA distributes the HDF library and several public domain
       visualization applications which use the HDF format.  Some
       commercial applications also support HDF.  For more infor-
       mation,	  use	 the	NCSA	anonymous    ftp   server
