Is there a way to tell the Alcyon assembler to force a data object (declared
with dc.?, for example) to be aligned on a particular boundary?  For
instance, the VAX/VMS assembler lets me say something like .align 8 and it 
will force alignment on a 256-byte (2**8) boundary.  If Alcyon doesn't
allow it, are there any other assemblers for the ST that do?
