typedef struct tagBITMAPFILEHEADER {    /* bmfh */
    UINT    bfType;
    DWORD   bfSize __attribute__ ((packed));/* OOPPS remove this attribute */
    UINT    bfReserved1;
    UINT    bfReserved2;
    DWORD   bfOffBits __attribute__ ((packed));  /* This one also */
} BITMAPFILEHEADER;

    UINT    bfType;

    UINT    bfReserved1;
    UINT    bfReserved2;
    DWORD   bfOffBits __attribute__ ((packed));

Obviously, or maybe not so obviously, my intent was to pack the
A_tagBITMAPFILEHEADER structure but not the original tagBITMAPFILEHEADER
structure.  I hope that that came though in spite of my typo.  I appologize if
my orignal response caused you any confusion.
