Just define an interger*4 variable IOUNIT

Default integer is better. There is no benefit to specifying the nonstandard
*4 here. That adds system dependence with no balancing benefit. Sometimes
there are good reasons for system dependence, but it is completely
superfluous here.

and set it to 0 for screen
output, or 2 (say) for printer or anything from 6 up (wiser) for a disk
device file..

Those numbers are compiler-dependent. In particular, the 0 is not
particularly universal. By far the most common number is that unit 6 is often
standard output.

Other aspects of the OP's question are addressed in other followups.
