And you can do exactly the same thing in Fortran. This isn't
a feature of the C language. This is just a feature of (some)
terminals.
If that works in C, then so will
write(lun,'(a1)',advance='no') achar(13)
because both do exactly the same thing - write an ascii carriage
return. That was one of the options I mentioned. It will
probably work, but it is hardware-dependent - not part of
Fortran (or C). Neither language says anything about what this
will do to a terminal.
