I've gotten some basic stuff to work using allegro, Mode-X graphics (i still
haven't gotten that to work without using a 3rd party library, grrr...) ,
keyboard, mouse, and I've been able to load bitmaps and draw them on the
screen.  The problem is when I tried to set the palette, beacuse my picture
was turning out all wrong colors, but when I did, it gave an error (copied
below my program).  Is it me, or is it my computer that has a problem?

#include <allegro.h>
#include <conio.h>

void main()
    {
    allegro_init();
    install_keyboard();
    install_mouse();

    set_gfx_mode(GFX_MODEX, 320, 240, 320, 480);

    PALETTE *p;
    BITMAP *belive = load_bmp("c:\\belive.bmp", *p);  // mulder's "I want to
belive" poster
    set_palette(*p);  // HERE'S WHERE THE PROBLEM IS

    draw_sprite(screen, belive, 0, 0);

    getch();

    destroy_bitmap(belive);
    allegro_exit(); // i know i don't need it, but i'm paranoid
    }
