I think you can do this like this:

Create your bitmap (BITMAP *img1; img1=create_bitmap(xxxxxx);
Open a file and write the bitmap's data (img1->dat)
Close the file
Now, assuming you have another bitmap (img2) that has the same width,
height, depth etc, you can read the file onto img2's dat.
You could also store the width&height&depth of the bitmap onto that file, so
the loader can read it.
Open allegro.h to find the BITMAP structure and see what it looks like, it's
members etc.
I haven't tested this, I don't know if I'm missing something.
