  16. WORD    CheckSum;
  17. WORD    Version;
  18. BYTE    PatchLevel;
  19. BYTE    Name[21];
  20. WORD    MarkerVersion;
  21. }VERSION_TAG_STRUCT;
  22.  
  23. Shouldn't sizeof(VERSION_TAG_STRUCT) always result in 28. By other words
  24. shouldn't WORD always be 16 bits and BYTE 8 bits.
  25.  
  26. If so why does my compiler claim that sizeof(VERSION_TAG_STRUCT) == 34.
  27. All this in 32 bit OS/2 PM and Watcom C++ 10.5

  29. Take care,
