It's just a case of field alignment - by default delphi aligns to 32 bit
boundaries. I think Turbo Pascal was 16 bits.
You could also try a packed record in Delphi, and add in filler fields of
the right size (eg Byte).

Subject: [DUG]: Record types in Pascal vs Delphi
I seem to remember discussions regarding the difference in Pascal record
structures and Delphi. I am off to visit someone with a problem writing a
Delphi front-end to an old Pascal program that uses a file of records.
Apparently, the records are not being read correctly from Delphi.
Anyone experienced this? and is there an easy solution?
