   Yes, this is what I recommend. The PetscSynchronizedPrintf() routines are older, lower level routines which have equivalent versions that use the viewer PetscViewerASCII...() Since the C FILE * object doesn't exist in Fortran things like PetscSynchronizedFlush() are problematic. But everything should be clean and clear with the PetscViewerASCII..() routines.

  Let me know if you have any trouble with them
