/************************************************************

  This example shows how to read and write array datatypes
  to a dataset.  The program first writes integers arrays of
  dimension ADIM0xADIM1 to a dataset with a dataspace of
  DIM0, then closes the  file.  Next, it reopens the file,
  reads back the data, and outputs it to the screen.
