I am using Allegro 3.0 and just started experimenting with datafiles that
you can create with the grabber tool. I have used what looks like exactly
the same syntax as the example programs but it won't work.

#include <allegro.h>
#include "test.h"        // Created by Grabber, defines TITLE_FONT to be 0

int main()
{
DATAFILE* data;
data = load_datafile("D:\\DJGPP\\PROGRAMS\\TEST.DAT");
if (initialiseGraphics())
{
  exit(1);
}
clear(screen);
textout(screen,data[TITLE_FONT].dat,"This is a test",0,0,15);
return 0;
}

I get this error:

bad argument 2 for function `void textout(struct BITMAP *, struct FONT *,
unsigned char *, int, int, int)' (type was void *)

Any ideas on how to fix it?
Chris
