IGES is an NBS publication.  I got IGES v3.0 (NBSIR-3359) from

        US Department Of Commerce
        National Technical Information Service
        Springfield, Virginia 22161

The cost was about $40.  I believe that version 4 is now available.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Image Processing Toolbox has HDFWRITE and HDFREAD functions.

 HDFWRITE Write data to HDF file.
        HDFWRITE(I,'filename') writes the binary or intensity 
        image I to an HDF file.
 
        HDFWRITE(X,MAP,'filename') writes an indexed image X and
        its colormap MAP to an HDF file.
 
        HDFWRITE(R,G,B,'filename') writes an RGB image to
        an HDF file.
 
        Images are always written to the file in append mode, and
        with RLE compression.
 
 HDFREAD Read data from HDF file.
        I=HDFREAD('filename', [GROUPTAG GROUPREF]) reads a binary
        or intensity image from an HDF file.  
 
        [X,MAP]=HDFREAD('filename', [GROUPTAG GROUPREF]) reads an
        indexed image and its colormap (if available) from an HDF file.
 
        [R,G,B]=HDFREAD('filename', [GROUPTAG GROUPREF]) reads an
        RGB image from an HDF file.
 
        Use the HDFPEEK function to inspect the file for group tags,
        reference numbers, and image types.  Example:
          [tagref,name,info] = hdfpeek('brain.hdf');
          for i=1:size(tagref,1), 
            if info(i)==8,
              [X,map] = hdfread('brain.hdf',tagref(i,:)); imshow(X,map)
            end
          end
 
        See also: HDFPEEK, HDFWRITE, BMPREAD, GIFREAD, PCXREAD,
                  TIFFREAD, XDWREAD.

If you can get funding take a llok at Data Junction from the StatSci
people (the same people who do S and S+). I think its 1000pounds 
commercially, but cheaper to eductional sites.
