     FORTRAN run-time error F6202
 
     terminal I/O not consistent with OPEN options
 
     The ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL' option and either the FORM='FORMATTED' or
     the FORM='BINARY' option were not included in the OPEN statement
     for a special device name such as CON, LPT1, or PRN. These
     options are required because special device names are connected
     to devices that do not support direct access.
 
     When a unit is connected to a terminal device, an OPEN statement
     that has the options FORM='FORMATTED' and ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL'
     results in carriage control. If the FORM='BINARY' and
     ACCESS='SEQUENTIAL' options appear in an OPEN statement, binary
     data transfer takes place.
