Well i have been told that pragma pack was machine dependent in what it
does in this program.  gee imaging that pragma pack doesnt ;-)  so i
tried component size with form all of the allowed values none of them
made the slightest difference in every case each array element which
was an array is padded with 2 bytes.  i am stumped, there doesnt seem
to be anyway to create and array of arrays and define the byte
alignmented fully that i can find, or that anyone can suggest.  this is
a piece of working vads code so changing the data structure ripples
through a lot of other things  and is not a welcome solution!
