I believe it was picked up on the standard with F90 - but again I'll have to ask the Fortran compiler folks.   An example of the difference between TYPE and traditional WRITE indeed are things like Fortran Lineprinter control, but I've forgotten the details.

From what I remember, "carriage control" still applies; "TYPE" seems to be simply a shorthand for "WRITE (5,"
