+!
+! FILE
+!  src/fortran/src/H5Aff_F03.f90
+!
+! PURPOSE
+!  This file contains Fortran 90 and Fortran 2003 interfaces for H5A functions.
+!  It contains the same functions as H5Aff_F90.f90 but includes the
+!  Fortran 2003 functions and the interface listings. This file will be compiled
+!  instead of H5Aff_F90.f90 if Fortran 2003 functions are enabled.

+! NOTES
+!
+!  (A) C_LOC and character strings according to the Fortran 2003 standard:
+!
+!  15.1.2.5 C_LOC(X)
+!
+!  Argument. X shall either
+!
+!  (1) have interoperable type and type parameters and be
+!    (a) a variable that has the TARGET attribute and is interoperable,
+!    (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute
+!        and is not an array of zero size, or
+!    (c) an associated scalar pointer, or
+!  (2) be a nonpolymorphic scalar, have no length type parameters, and be
+!    (a) a nonallocatable, nonpointer variable that has the TARGET attribute,
+!    (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute, or
+!    (c) an associated pointer.
+!
+!  - When X is a character, for interoperability the standard is:
+!
+!  15.2.1 Interoperability of intrinsic types
+!
+!  ...if the type is character, interoperability also requires that the length type parameter
+!  be omitted or be specified by an initialization expression whose value is one.
+!
+!  THEREFORE compilers that have not extended the standard  require
+!
+!  CHARACTER(LEN=1), TARGET :: chr
+!  or
+!  CHARACTER, TARGET :: chr
+!
+!  (B)
+!                         *** IMPORTANT ***
+!  If you add a new H5A function you must add the function name to the
+!  Windows dll file 'hdf5_fortrandll.def' in the fortran/src directory.
+!  This is needed for Windows based operating systems.
+!
+!*****
+
+MODULE H5A_PROVISIONAL
+
+  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.

+!****s* H5A (F03)/h5aread_f
+!
+! NAME
+!  h5aread_f
+!
+! PURPOSE
+!  Reads an attribute.
+!
+! INPUTS
+!  attr_id 	 - attribute identifier
+!  memtype_id 	 - attribute memory type identifier
+!  dims 	 - 1D array of size 7, stores sizes of the
+!   	         - buf array dimensions.
+! OUTPUTS
+!  buf 	         - buffer to read attribute data in
+!  hdferr 	 - Returns 0 if successful and -1 if fails
+! AUTHOR
+!  Elena Pourmal
+!  August 12, 1999
+!
+! HISTORY
+!  Explicit Fortran interfaces are added for
+!  called C functions (it is needed for Windows
+!  port).  February 27, 2001
+!
+!  dims parameter was added to make code portable;
+!  Aprile 4, 2001
+!
+!  Changed buf intent to INOUT to be consistant
+!  with how the C functions handles it. The pg
+!  compiler will return 0 if a buf value is not set.
+!  February, 2008
+!
+! NOTES
+!  This function is overloaded to write INTEGER,
+!  REAL, DOUBLE PRECISION and CHARACTER buffers
+!  up to 7 dimensions.
