That worked. File size 2,560 bytes.  Thank you.

I suppose I can safely ignore the "Link: warning LNK4108: /Align specified without /driver or /vxd; image may not run" message.

You can safely ignore the warning if you don't intend to write a commercial app for future Windows versions. Although they'll probably never tighten the rules... /align:64 works perfectly on my XP box, with 768 bytes ;-)

Interestingly enough they learnt the lesson with the later linkers which will all do 512 byte alignment. Its part of the PE spec so it runs on all versions of 32 bit Windows.

This is not part of the PE specs but still runs smoothly on XP... 704 bytes
