I am currently having problems with Allegro textprintf() function.  If
I want to print to a BITMAP then it works fine, however I want to
print straight onto the visiable screen and not the BITMAP.

I know I could always just print onto a BITMAP and then transfer that
to the screen but the problem here is that I do not want to use any
global variables as the main() holds the BITMAP variable and I want to
print to the screen in another function.

I have tried using the screen variable as the BITMAP but this just
causes a General protection Fault.
