Yeah, with SAS 5.1 or later try:

	UBYTE __aligned *array1[32][16];

and you should be set.  Note this was originally done to help with
BCPL so you could do things like:

	struct FileInfoBlock __aligned MyFIB;

Now if only they would get a __public keyword so I can save
dynamically allocating all my messages, etc.
