title: How to read .hdf file in R?
body: <p>I have a large number of files in .hdf format. These are sadly not the hdf5 files that I know are readable in R. Is there a way to load and read hdf files in R? Or is there a way to convert .hdf to hdf5? I downloaded the C-based h4toh5 tool, but it is not useful. Are there any other ways to convert? Many thanks.</p>
