Alignment is not a problem, what you need to do is develop a routine for
reading the file. Assuming all the information is in the file you
simply need to read one record into a character buffer then parse it and
place the results into the appropriate structure members.
Actually, you may not even need to do this, since the difference may be
entirely in memory. Please note that due to the differences between
block oriented devices like the disk drive and memory, a particular
record my occupy a different amount of storage on the disk than it does
in memory.
I suggest you write a quick routine to read and display your records in
gcc, then decide what you need to do to crreate a match. Once you have
done this if you still have a problem, e:mail me, I may be able to help
further.
