Lattice 3.03 does not do any even alignment of addresses. They do listen! I understand why they did it — but I think it goes against the philosophy of the language to have the compiler make those kind of decisions. I might suggest that if you ever need to store two types of pointers at some location, you use a union rather than a cast. That is a more portable way of handling it. -Steve
