Thanks for the reply, but none of that was my problem. I was using a 16
bit
targa, allegro only supports 8 bit. Which leads my to say that allegro
already
has targa support(as of 2.2). I agree that GIF and JPG would be good,
but I
know nothing about these formats except that GIF uses LZH, or whatever
that algorithm is called. Same one as PKZIP uses. I suspect someone
out there must have GIF reading code, and It would be a gracious gesture
on their part to donate it to allegro.
