Thanks for the link. For best compatibility should I make it:
Type
DrawCMD = Packed Record
GC: Word;
PX,PY,PZ,GX,GY,GZ,GI,GJ,R,SA,EA:Double;
End;
Or
Type
{$PackRecords 2}
DrawCMD = Record
GC: Word;
PX,PY,PZ,GX,GY,GZ,GI,GJ,R,SA,EA:Double;
End;
{$PackRecords default}
Or am I not understanding this correctly?

Hi,
"packed record" is for compatibility. Its guaranteed that inner alignment and
size of record will be always the same and will not change in future versions
of compiler, unlike the plain "record".
