what am i doing wrong:

with djgpp v2, when i take the sizeof this struct:

typedef struct
{
  char magic[2];
  long size;
  int dummy;
  long offset;
} header_t;

it returns 16, when it should return 14 (2 chars = 2 + long (4) + int (4)
+ lont (4) = 2+4+4+4=14)

(BTW, why are int's represented as 4 bytes on a PC? sizeof(int) returns
4...)

i am using djgpp v2 on a 486-33 w/4megs ram...

(if this is in the FAQ, sorry, but i can't use www/ftp; our DNS server is
down...)
