Hi there!
I have a struct which looks like this:

#include "allegro.h"
struct sprite 
{
	int x,y;
	int w,h;
	int counter,
	int num_frames;
	int curr_frame,
	RLE_SPRITE *frames[MAX_FRAMES]; // 10
} sprite;

(you can download the actual thing at
http://www.cybercity.hko.net/vancouver/cdingwall/coding/dirty.zip)

Anywazz..
now i want to save this sprite structure to a file (with Allegro's pack_*
routines). 
e.g.
	pack_mputw(s->x, fl);
	pack_mputw(s->y, fl);
	etc...
	for(i=0; i< s->num_frames; i++) { // save the RLE images
		pack_mputw(s->frames[i]->w, fl);
		pack_mputw(s->frames[i]->h, fl);
		pack_fwrite(s->frames[i]->dat, s->frames[i]->size, fl);
and then the opposite (s->x = pack_mgetw();) for the loading stuff

the code itself generates no compiler errors, but crashes evertime i use
it.
if anymore information is needed, please email.
Please help,
chris
