i had tried using a draw routine that would load its bmps from a dat file
each time the draw loop started. this is too slow so i simply want to load
the bmp data in the dat file into a global array of bmps. i've got it to
work for midi data :

MIDI     *midi;

... load the dat file ...

midi = data[INTRO_MID].dat;

if I do a similar thing for the bmps the bitmap pointers are all NULL:

BITMAP        BMPS[10];

... load the dat file ...

BMPS[0] = data[BMP_0].dat;

why?? both functions load the same dat file and the midi loads in fine.
