Allegro does not support 24bpp modes AFAIK. Take a look at svgalib,
grxlib ( now did I spell it wrong, and if so will I be shot? ), and
jlib. All pointers on DJ's web site.

For loading and saving 24bpp BMP images, someone wrote a GIMP plug-in
which does it and is easy to hack. It should not be far from the main
GIMP page which is at scam.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~gimp.
