Are you using something different from the rest of us?

OR have you designed a routine that does what you described
below?  Please share it with me if you have such a critter.
radsmail AT juno DOT com

THANKS!

From the 3.9.2 Documentation:

File: allegro.inf,  Node: release_bitmap,  Next: acquire_screen,
Prev: acquire_bitmap,  Up: Bitmap

void release_bitmap(BITMAP *bmp);
     Releases a bitmap that was previously locked by calling
     acquire_bitmap().  If the bitmap was locked multiple times, you
     must release it the same number of times before it will truly be
     unlocked.

See also:
*Note acquire_bitmap.
*Note acquire_screen.
*Note release_screen.

I find no mention of 'releas' but one instance of 'release_'
