Okay i've figured the correct way of accessing compiled datafiles:

For palletes:

set_pallete(pic); (you need not make any reference to the datafile)

For blitting (other) :

blit(&pic, etc) 

textout(center etc)(screen, &font, etc)

For compiled you need not make a DATAFILE datafile; call since its in the
exe anyway :). Well i love correcting myself, hope this helps anyone else
who has/had problems if you don't/didn't then you are clever :).

Regards....
