  SEVERITY:  W

  MESSAGE TEXT:  Record contains one or more misaligned fields

  EXPLANATION:   One or more fields are not naturally aligned in a
  RECORD structure.  If the record is or contains a record array,
  one or more of the array elements may not be naturally aligned.

  Specifying /NOALIGN or /ALIGN=RECORDS=PACKED, the default, causes
  Compaq Fortran to pack the fields within records instead of naturally
  aligning them.

  USER ACTION:  Consider specifying the /ALIGN qualifier or rearrange
  fields so that they fall on natural boundaries.
