   Maybe this way?   
      
   bold.f90:   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
   program testbold   
   call system('tput bold')   
   print'("Hello, World!")'   
   call system('tput sgr0')   
   print'("Bye, World!")'   
   end program testbold   
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   
      
   That's my 1st hand full of Fortran lines since the early 90s, so please   
   don't laugh too loud.   
      
   Using `system` and `tput` avoids needing   
    + to find a Fortran (n)curses library   
    + to hardcode the terminal commands   
   .   
      
   It worked for me with Gfortran on OpenBSD.  I was too lazy to install   
   Gfortran on Linux while already having access to it on BSD.
