If you want to display sprites you use draw_sprite function of allegro,
however you need those sprites to be BITMAP format. If you do not know the
format of spr files I do not think you can really do it. Check if you can
save those files in pcx, bmp or other format that allegro support, or if
you cannot do it and you do not know the format of the spr files I would
recomend getting different sprite editor (xspred is an excellent one to
work with allegor, you can find it on allegro home page).
