RE: Fortran Users! Is there a better way to do this?

Rod,
 
 From what I remember Fortran i/o is expensive so your solution is probably
more efficient than the alternative which would be to use the "+" format
control to allow multiple prints to occupy the same line.

Hey fellow fortran users..

I have a program that produces a long list of numbers calculated one after
the other.
I want to print these numbers 5 wide to save 'paper'

What I am doing now:

an array(5)
a pointer = 0
loop
   increment pointer
   fill array(pointer) with next calculated result)
   if pointer = 5
       print array on a line of the page
       zero pointer
until done calculating 
if (pointer .ge. 1) print array(1 - pointer)
...

Is there a better way?

Ron
