Please don't post in HTML format.

DOS doesn't particularly like filenames beginning with a number. This could
be your problem.

Subject: bitmap problem


I am trying to add some a simple bitmap to a simple game I wrote.
I am using Allegro but it doesn't seem to work. The function works
fine if I compile it as it's own program but when my program calls it it
says the bmp isn't found.
int pcx()
{ 
BITMAP *the_image; 
PALLETE the_pallete; 
allegro_init(); 
/* Read the bitmap */ 
the_image = load_bitmap("1.bmp", the_pallete); 
if(!the_image) 
{
 printf("1.bmp not found!"); 
 exit(1); 
} 
set_gfx_mode(GFX_VGA, 320, 200, 0, 0); 
/* Select the bitmap pallete */ 
set_pallete(the_pallete); 
/* blit the image onto the screen */ 
blit(the_image, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 320, 200); 
delay(100); 
destroy_bitmap(the_image); 
} 
Any suggestions would help.  Also if you have a function you know works lemme in on it.  Thanks
