When an unformatted write is done (at least on Suns, Titans and
Silicon Graphics machines) two control words are written at the
beginning and end of the write with the number of bytes written
(words on the Titan). This is useful only if the binary file is
to be read by another fortran program; to use the file in, say,
a C program, the extra words must be removed. Does anyone know of
a way to suppress the writing of these control words?

Please reply via email.
