Can't you configure the alignment in the C compiler. I believe in the good
o'l TC days there was such an option . The con is that you get unoptimized
code which doesn't align in memory ( as mentioned by someone .. the word
boundary alignment in a 32 bit system ) and may not run as fast .. ( Was it
the memory model size .. large / medium / small ?? )
There is also a function that could perform this function .. The only
problem is that I've got DRAM .. Until the next refresh ..
