We really should create a FAQ for Allegro.

Two possible answers could be:

1) RTFM!

2) Join the Allegro mailing list because it's been done to death over there.

3) This will save the screen to a file:

int save_bitmap(char *filename)
{
	BITMAP *buffer;
	PALETTE pal;

	buffer = create_bitmap(SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
	get_palette(pal);

	blit(screen, buffer, 0, 0, 0, 0, SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
	return save_bitmap(filename, buffer, pal);
}

(I think)
