Hello!

Trying to understand the bmp-file-format I found in bmp.c(allegro) 
the following; perhaps a non-effective error - but why does the 
type of bfType isn't unsigned short?
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

typedef struct BITMAPFILEHEADER
{
   unsigned long  bfType;
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   unsigned long  bfSize;
   unsigned short bfReserved1;
   unsigned short bfReserved2;
   unsigned long  bfOffBits;
} BITMAPFILEHEADER;
...
int save_bmp(char *filename, BITMAP *bmp, RGB *pal) 
{
...
   /* file_header */
   pack_iputw(0x4D42, f);              /* bfType ("BM") */
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                               ^^
   pack_iputl(bfSize, f);              /* bfSize */
   pack_iputw(0, f);                   /* bfReserved1 */
   pack_iputw(0, f);                   /* bfReserved2 */
