Maybe in terms of the actual layout in disk files, but if you
shorten that field in Allegro it will make no difference to the
size of the structure (it'll be followed by two bytes of
padding), and if it's always sent to/from disk using pack_iputw
and pack_igetw, it will have no effect on the functionality
either.  It will only have effect if the struct is read from
disk or written to disk as a single block of data.
