As I noted in a previous message, pragma pack should work just fine on
records, it is NOT necessary to give record representation clauses unless
they are needed to match an external specification. In Ada 9X in particular,
one would assume that even in the latter case, the use of:

  pragma COnvention (C, rectype);

should be adequate to ensure a match up with the C type. In GNAT, convention
C is the default (i.e. for datatypes that match, convention Ada and
convention C are identical), so it works even in the absnece of this
pragma.
