+<i>In general, each FORTRAN90 subroutine performs exactly the same task 
+as the corresponding C function.  The links below go to the C function 
+descriptions, which serve as general descriptions for both.  A button, 
+under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
+opens an external browser window displaying the FORTRAN90-specific 
+information.  You will probably want to adjust the size and location of 
+this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to 
+facilitate moving easily between them.</i>
