in VGA mode are there only 256 colors you could possibly have, i.e.
would my routine:

  for(int i=0;i<=15;i++)
    for(int j=0;j<=15;j++)
      for(int x=0;x<=10;x++)
        for(int y=0;y<=10;y++)
          putpixel(screen, i*10+x, j*10+y, i*15+j);

print every possible color or can you get more with makecol() or
anything? (sorry for so many nested fors btw)

also, in the demo game that comes with allegro, they put all their
midis, wavs, images etc  in a .dat file. how would i do that? and also
how would i retrieve the info from the file with my program? thanks in
advance,
