I have been trying for weeks now to create an application using (amongst
other things) Allegro. The application uses an uncompressed Allegro
datafile, which I would like to have appended (using exedat) to the main
code. Unfortunatly, I can't get the datafile routines to work.

Using an external datafile and code like:

    DATAFILE* data;
    data = load_datafile("myfile.dat");

works perfectly every time.

If I append the datafile using exedat, which correctly reports that it has
done it's job:

    DATAFILE* data;
    data = load_datafile("#");

never works.

Anyone got any clues?
