I put padded structs into all the compilers.  The pragma is

#pragma pack on

(or pack yes) to enable it, and pack off
(or anything but on and yes) to disable it.
#pragma hjdicks will now be ignored like
any other unknown pragma.

The name hjdicks was a reflection of Ken's frustration 
at having to put the feature into the compiler
at all.  It's use (and the use of #pragma pack) is
greatly deprecated.
