Yes, but more by luck combined with trial and error than anything
else. When you have this sort of structure in structre arrangement i
find it best to work upwards. Make sure sizeof(high) is realy 2. Then
make sure tDemo is 6 bytes. You may also have to play around with the
align attribute. I don't need it for my code, but you never know.
Also i think someone once said this is target specific. It can be made
to work for the SA110, is all i can say.
