I've almost finished a Othello clone, with the help of the allegro
library, and want to place all the graphics into a dat file before
releasing it for testing among friends and family.

I have found out to make the dat file with the grabber program.
but I can't figure out how to get the BMP files out of the dat file
again.

I have a othello.h header file (created with the grabber).
and a BMP file called 'backgr' (inside the dat file).
and finally a palette called 'othello' (also inside the dat file).

Could anyone please help me with a small example on how to retrieve the
BMP drawing from the dat file??

Thanks in advance.
Einar.
