hi... I need help with DJGPP again.
I have a struct...and I need djgpp to leave it the way I declare it without
any padding or aligning it to machine words...

for example

struct Lalala {
    unsigned int testing1;
    unsigned char testing2;
    unsigned short testing3;
    unsigned char testing 4;
}

int main(void)
{
    Lalala test1;
    test1.testing1 = 0xFFFFFFFF;
    test1.testing2 = 0xEE;
    test1.testing3 = 0xDDDD;
    test1.testing4 = 0xAA;
}

I want *test1* to look in memory like this:
0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xEE 0xDD 0xDD 0xAA

just like this...is there any way to do that?

thank you for your help...
