Is there a standard format for the output from the following code?
      PROGRAM HELLO
      INTEGER FVIOLS
      FVIOLS=0
      PRINT *,'FVIOLS =',FVIOLS
      END

[...]

A "*" in the format means list-directed output, which in practice amounts to "write it so that it's readable". Specifically, all of the various details of the formats are processor-dependent.

(See 10.8.2 of the F95 standard for details.)
