Example of Szip Usage in HDF4

The following is one of several sample programs illustrating the use of Szip compression in HDF4. The entire set can be found in the subdirectory h4_examples/.

/* This program writes and reads 16-bit integer data using SZIP compression */

#define SDS_NAME	"SzipedData"

#define RANK		2
#define WIDTH		6
#define LENGTH		9
