I've used this structure in my previous Borland C++ program which
I now like to convert to djgpp v2.beta4:

struct main_directory_entry {
       char name[7];
       unsigned long offset;
       unsigned long size;
};

Borland C++ returns sizeof(main_directory_entry)=15 and
djgpp returns 16, which causes little problems with
file-reading routines...

However when I tested sizeof(main_directory_entry.name) it returned
7 and unsigned longs returned 4. 7+4+4=15 isn't it?

Have I missed some piece of information or is this a bug in compiler?
