Well, according to the C faq, that I've now read, it is a bad idea to
change the default word alignment. It may work with one compiler, but is
not guaranteed to work with any other compiler. It is also not ANSI
standard. TC did not have pure ANSI C as is documented in the help files,
but gcc is much closer to ANSI and POSIX compliance than any compiler I've
seen.
The best way to solve my problem is to read each element one at a time.
