There are some good examples in the Allegro examples directory. Try the program
ex15 for how to load and display PCX and BMP files. If you're going to put the
PCX and BMP files in a datafile you might want to look at ex12, which shows you
how to do things with datafiles. I hope this helps. Good luck with the project!
