 In addition to the HDF5 recombiner program, thorn IOHDF5 also provides
 some other utilities which can be build the same way:

 \begin{itemize}
   \item {\tt hdf5\_convert\_from\_ieeeio.c}\\
     Converts a datafile created by thorn IOFlexIO into an HDF5 datafile.
+  \item {\tt hdf5\_merge.c}\\
+    Merges a list of HDF5 input files into a single HDF5 output file.
+    This can be used to concatenate HDF5 output data created as one file per
+    timestep. 
+  \item {\tt hdf5\_extract.c}\\
+    Extracts a given list of named objects (groups or datasets) from an HDF5
+    input file and writes them into a new HDF5 output file.
+    This is the reverse operation to what {\tt hdf5\_merge.c} does. Useful eg.
+    for extracting individual timesteps from a time series HDF5 datafile.
+  \item {\tt hdf5\_bitant\_to\_fullmode.c}\\
+    Converts all datasets in a given HDF5 file from bitant into full mode data.
+    This is accomplished by reflecting the data in z-direction with a given
+    stencil width.

 If any of these utility programs is called without arguments it will print
 a usage message.
