Hello.

I have a slight problem with the way that DJGPP packs its structs.

I am working on a project that saves its files as X number of structs,
in a binary file.

Since DJGPP packs structs, the structs are of a different size than you
might find when using a 16 bit compiler.  You can't read the file in
unless
the structs that you are reading into are the same as the structs that
were
written.

What if I want to read a file I make with say, a Visual Basic 16 bit
program?

TIA as always,
