FORTRAN callable interface

The FORTRAN callable interface consists of the CZ and XZ packages. Normally, only the XZ package is of concern to the user: any calls to the CZ package being made in a completely transparent manner. The exception to this case is of course when a new application that requires a different server is to be built.
