In the docs, it says, that structures must be packed up seperately...

is there any reason why I cant use pvmDataRaw and send an array of 

struct rubbish {
	double d;
	int    i;
	char   cccc[128]
}

or similar, by simply pretending that its an array of bytes and sending
the data as byte format ?

so 57 structs becomes 57*sizeof(struct) bytes. 

It seems too obvious to be asking, but is there any reason why I can't
do this ? (all machines will be same ARCH).
