Throw this into one of your Allegro programs:

void ShowBitmap(char *filename)
{
  BITMAP *bmp;
  PALETTE pal;

  bmp = load_bitmap(filename, pal);
  if(bmp == NULL)
    return;

  set_palette(pal);
  blit(bmp, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, bmp->w, bmp->h);
  readkey(); // wait for user to press [ANY] to continue

  destroy_bitmap(bmp); // free the memory
}

Allegro has a mailing list.  It's listed on the Allegro home page:
