Instead of removing the links, can we rather replace it by an updated link?

Richard Townsend has implemented the fortran.com version; webarchive
show that was the 1.3-F version that is still available from his own
homepage at:

http://user.astro.wisc.edu/~townsend/static.php?ref=iso-varying-string
(BTW: I now also added Richard's website to web.archive.org.)

I don't think most users need this module, but still if it is mentioned,
I does not harm to have the link available.
