No, please no, that was exactly what I didn't want to do.... sorry for

I think you're right, it would be nice to keep everything alignment in 
the BCAlignment folder. In fact I'm not even sure if we even need a 
tool by smart use of class methods, but time will tell...

Windows is a 32-bit patch to a 16-bit shell for an 8-bit
operating system, written for a 4-bit processor by a 2-
