With respect to the C statement:
 
     printf("The answer is %d, not %d\n", ans, resp)
 
one can use the following Fortran statement
 
     write(*,*)' The answer is',ans,' not',resp
 
which seems as simple as the C version. The suggested
 
       WRITE (BUFFER,100) PRINTLENGTH(ANS),PRINTLENGTH(RESP)
  100  FORMAT('(;;The answer is '',',I1,','',not '',',I1,;I;;)')
       WRITE(5,BUFFER)ANS,RESP
 
seems to be somewhat verbose. ( Of couse my suggestion could be
in upper case if desired. )
