Try using format='(e12.4)'
or with more digits format='(e14.6)'
where the first number gives the width of the column and the second the
number of digits after .

@ wayne: e11.5 doesn't work on windows, because it uses 3 digits in the
exponent

Depending on how large the numbers you want to print, something like
format='(d16.6)'
might also be an option. if you get ****************, then you have to
increase the width, e.g. format='(d20.6)'

More details you can find under [1],

I hope that helps, Markus
