Parallel versus serial netCDF?

[John Tannahill]

I am back from vacation and am finally getting back to my work with
your parallel netCDF library.

I have written a fortran test code that makes the normal serial netCDF
calls and now I am converting it to use your parallel netCDF calls.
The first thing that struck me is that the serial version uses function
calls for things like Nf_Create, Nf_Def_Dim, Nf_Def_Var, etc., and
the parallel version uses subroutine calls?  I was hoping that I would
have to make minimal changes to the call; any particular reason you
use subroutine versus function calls?  Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
John
