ifort still has switches for selecting the VAX convention of measuring 
RECL in 32-bit words vs. the f2003 recommended convention of byte size.  
gfortran (and afaik g77) used byte lengths only.
Note that 32-bit g77 unformatted direct access files were never intended 
to work with any 64-bit mode compiler (not even the buggy 64-bit g77) 
and can't be expected to work with gfortran (you would need to make 
those data files from scratch):

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/g77/Portable-Unformatted-Files.html

Also important is the point made above that g77 may have allowed 
indiscriminate switching between formatted and unformatted or direct and 
sequential access files, or read after write, but the run-time errors 
should shed light on that, and you would need to watch for unsuspected 
problems if g77 let it through.
