Re: hdf5 file format

[W.J. Atsma]

I thought it might be something like that. From my perusal it seems like one 
could save the type name as an attribute. 

For completeness: To load an  octave hdf5 file:
If your code finds a matching object name check if it is a group object and if 
so whether it has a "value" data member.

Thanks for the feedback,

Willem
