5 Libaec includes a free drop-in replacement for the SZIP
6 library[1]. Just replace SZIP's shared library libsz.so* with
7 libaec.so* and libsz.so* from libaec. Code which is dynamically linked
8 with SZIP such as HDF5 should continue to work without re-compilation.
10 HDF5 files which contain SZIP encoded data can be decoded by HDF5
11 using libaec and vice versa.
