!************************************************************
!
!  This example shows how to write a C string to a dataset 
!  and read it back as a Fortran string.
!  The program first writes the C 
!  strings to a dataset with a dataspace of DIM0, then closes the file.
!  Next, it reopens the file, reads back the data into a Fortran
!  fixed character string, and outputs it to the screen.
!
!  This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.8
!  with --enable-fortran2003
