Is there a Fortran Standard on Write(*,*)

or Print* ? Many compilers do such format output very differently. Is it because there is no strict requirement for this format?

Here is how unix fortran made print* output

nam= 4 ll= 4 uu= 4 (for those who do not see that precisely, there is two spaces before the number and one after)

and here is how Salford FTN95 made it

nam= 4 ll= 4 uu= 4 (11 spaces before the number and zero after)

List-directed output is compiler dependent. For portability you should use formatted output. i.e. the Standard does not specify the details for list-directed output.

For exporting information from fortran to other packages, I typically use text files where the information is either tab delimeted (.txt) or comma delimited (.csv). These can be reaily imported into excel or most other packages.
