I'm having problems with blitting pictures to the screen in 16-bit mode
in allegro...  I am loading 24-bit images but when they are drawn to the
screen, they look 8 bit and draw _very_ slow.  Also, when I try to blit
multiple 8-bit images to the 16-bit screen, the entire screen will use
the palette of the last blitted picture.

Finally, is there a way to dynamically allocate BITMAPs in Allegro?  I'm
trying to load 4 640x480 8-bit images, but it chokes aparently because
of memory problems...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
