+! NOTES
+!                         *** IMPORTANT ***
+!  If you add a new H5A function you must add the function name to the
+!  Windows dll file 'hdf5_fortrandll.def.in' in the fortran/src directory.
+!  This is needed for Windows based operating systems.
+!

+MODULE H5A
+
+  USE H5GLOBAL
+!
+!  On Windows there are no big (integer*8) integers, so overloading
+!  for bug #670 does not work. I have to use DEC compilation directives to make
+!  Windows DEC Visual Fortran and OSF compilers happy and do right things.
