Or, if you don't have Lattice, or refuse to never ever ever use another of
their compilers again, you could use:

unsigned char space[sizeof(struct FileInfoBlock) + 4];
struct FileInfoBlock *fib;

fib = (struct FileInfoBlock *) (((unsigned long)space+4)&~3);

I agree, though, it's much nicer than using AllocMem() and FreeMem().
