One workaround may be to dispense with the uses of sizeof for those DNS

Wouldn't that be working around a bug in a compiler (that doesn't
support structure packing) which we agreed not to do?
From what he said, it does support structure packing, but still includes
padding for alignment at the end.
I believe that is not a bug, on the contrary it looks like a bug-fixing.
Let me explain: I use OpenWatcom and the new versions have the padding,
the very old don't. I believe it is because of the array problem that
has alredy been explained...
I agree that no structure packing at all would not be worth attempting to
support.
I agree too. Not to use packing would make the code bigger and all
compilers have packing, it just a problem of syntax.
IMHP the appropriate pack/unpack files of each compiler should be
included somewhere, so that any new user can use it :)
