I have a 16 bit background on which I want to move around some 8 bit
colour sprites. I would also like some parts of these sprites to be
transparent so the background is visible through them.

There is an allegro function masked_blit to do this, but it doesn't
seem to work.....any points of colour 0 on my sprites simply show up
as black on my background, NOT transparent.

Ideas ?

Ta,
Chris.
