Here we go again with tons of bull*** about HLA
being an Assembler. Well,... just one thing:

RosAsm syntax is perfectely clear about this:

For Data Declarations, "[" actually means:

1) Start a new set of Data.
2) Aling32.

If "Align32" _not_ wanted, the syntax is: "[<".

Notice that, in some future (when i will have
time to review this...), the convention will be
slightly modified to the more accurate:

1) Start a new set of Data.
2) Align on the boudary required by the next
coming Size Marker. Example:

"[MyqWord: Q$ 0FFFF564]"

>>> Align64 assumed. Instead of the actually hand made:

"[<64 MyqWord: Q$ 0FFFF564]"
