Hi,
lots of types in lcltypes are declared as packed,which i dont know why,
as far as i know lots of them are similar to types with almost exact name from windows unit,but as you look at windows unit,none of them are packed. also almost all of these records are by itself 2byte or 4byte aligned,ie removing packed will not influence them.

The problem is in wince, by using packed lots of things change,compiler now generates unaligned codes,and becouse it defaults packing to 1byte,packed variables might reside in odd number memory places. This doesnt make problem in program,becouse all accesses are done in one byte schema,but when sending these records to winapi,they all generate errors,which is really hard to find too!

I suggest removing all packed records when they are unessesary.
