Writing output files to memory

Hi, is it possible for me to get Fortran to write its output files to
memory instead of to a file on the hard drive? If so, what is the
command I should use so I can look it up? I am using SuSE 9.2 with the
Intel Fortran compiler. Some people told me I need to write to
/dev/null, but they weren't sure how to proceed beyond that.

If I do get Fortran to write to memory, I will then require a 3rd
party program (I have no access to this program's source code) to
locate the output file in memory so that it can read/write to it. How
do I know what memory address Fortran has written to?

The next step for me will be to send these output files from Fortran
over a distributed computing network. I suppose it is unavoidable that
I will need to write the files to the hard disks then?
.
