My Visual Fortran programneeds to read unformatted files created by a Linux gfortran program. What Visual Fortran unformatted file compatibility file settings shouldbe selected? The conversion options for the gfortran program can also be altered if necessary. Are there other issues that I need to be aware of?

None, as long as the gfortran program is running on a "little-endian" system and you are using a gfortran version less than three years old. gfortran and Intel Fortran use the exact same on-disk layout for sequential unformatted files, even those with records larger than 1GB.
