You're obviously using a compiler extension. The Fortran standard clearly defines how the F edit descriptor works. gfortran implements that behavior. I'll note that gfortran implements the Fortran 2003 stream IO feature. This feature should enable you to easily write your own custom parsing routine. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31614
