  Hi, I was wondering if somebody could please
help me by explaining the following blurb of code.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   BITMAP *the_image;
   PALLETE the_pallete;

   if (argc != 2) {
      printf("Usage: 'ex15 filename.[bmp|lbm|pcx|tga]'\n");
      return 1;
   }
(This is from the allegro example ex15.c)
  I am trying to learn how to load and display a bitmap, but
I can't get this example to work for me, and it has to do
with the above code.  There is of course more code, but
when I run the executable, the program ends immediately
with the above printf's statement!

Thank you to anybody who offers help.

B.Murphy
