What is wrong with this code? I am trying to programm a program with Allegro
to make a bitmap display on the screen.  how do i do it?

here is the code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include "allegro.h"

BITMAP *allegro;
PALLETE pal;

start_allegro();

int main()
{

 start_allegro();

        /* Load our bitmap into memory. */
 allegro = load_bitmap("swf.bmp", pal);
 blit(allegro, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 640, 480);



 /* Wait for a keypress */
 readkey();
 destroy_bitmap(allegro);
 return 0;
}

start_allegro()
{
 install_keyboard();
 set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 640, 480, 0, 0);
 set_palette(pal);
}
