Subj : bit field bug?

I am upgrading an old app from Borland C++ 5.01a to the latest MS Visual
Studio C++.  The app uses bitfields in data structures and I am seeing a
problem where it looks like the MS version of the data structure is correct
in size, but the Borland C++ version is larger by 1 byte than it should be.
Is there a bug in BC++ 5.01a in the bit field assignment and layout?

Any info would be greatly appreciated... also any pointer to documents on
this, since I will need to account for the difference in size of the
bitfields during client server data transfer for backward compatibility in
my app.

Thanks,
Jeff
