     The current version of the <cite>HDF5 Reference Manual</cite> includes

-    Fortran subroutines exist in the H5A, H5D, H5E, H5F, H5G, H5I, H5P,

     In general, each Fortran subroutine performs exactly the same task

-    this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to 
-    facilitate moving easily between them.
