*   Note that the F77 style calling sequence has been retained             *
*   in this version for compatibility reasons, be aware that               *
*   parameters related to the array dimensions and shape therefore may     *
*   be redundant and without any influence.                                *
*   The calling sequence may be changed in a future version.               *
