hdf5 question

[Paul E Johnson]

Dear Marcus and everybody:

Now I'm trying to make the HDF5Archiver work.  I can get the EZGraph
output to hdf5 vectors to work fine, but I just want to experiment with
the other way too. I'm using swarm-2001-09-25.

In the ASM code, I tried this:  
 
#ifndef USE_LISP
  dataArchiver = [HDF5Archiver create: [self getZone] setPath:
dataArchiveName];
#else
  dataArchiver = [LispArchiver create: [self getZone] setPath:
dataArchiveName];
#endif

And when I want to throw measures into the file, for example, for the
object "outputWorld", I do this:

// t is current time
sprintf (worldName, "world%ld",t); 
[dataArchiver putShallow: worldName object: outputWorld];

With a CPP flag set to USE_LISP, I get what I want, it saves repeatedly
snapshots of the state of objects, like this:
(list
  (cons 'world0
     (make-instance 'World #:intrate 0.100000D0 #:dividendscale
10.000000D0 #:savedd
ividend 11.569778D0 #:savedprice 124.010070D0 #:history_top 4
#:updown_top 4 #:maxhi
story 500 #:price 124.010070D0 #:oldprice 125.898548D0 #:dividend
11.569778D0 #:oldd
ividend 12.753387D0 #:riskNeutral 115.697776D0 #:profitperunit
9.681299D0 #:returnra
tio 0.076898D0 #:nmas 4 #:nworldbits 61 #:exponentialMAs #t))
  (cons 'world12
     (make-instance 'World #:intrate 0.100000D0 #:dividendscale
10.000000D0 #:savedd
ividend 8.005025D0 #:savedprice 104.504712D0 #:history_top 16
#:updown_top 1 #:maxhi
story 500 #:price 104.504712D0 #:oldprice 106.042389D0 #:dividend
8.005025D0 #:olddi
vidend 8.762448D0 #:riskNeutral 80.050247D0 #:profitperunit 6.467348D0
#:returnratio
 0.060988D0 #:nmas 4 #:nworldbits 61 #:exponentialMAs #t))
  (cons 'world15
  
The same code (without the flag USE_LISP) creates hdf5 files, but
something is wrong. The hdf5 dump looks like this, where it uses HDF5_c
where I think it should have the key value world0, and there is only one
piece of output (and in R I can't make any mileage to see it because _
is a synonym for <-). I suspect the HDF5Archiver is not using the key I
give for the object save, instead it uses HDF5_c.  Do you know why?  (I
verfied that the one record in the hdf5 file output is the last time
period inputted.)
