how about this one:

The example is taken almost entirely from Allegro Example #15.

if (bmp==NULL) {
  allegro_exit();
  printf("unable to load image.\n");
  return 0;
};
set_palette(pal);
blit (bmp,screen,0,0,(320-bmp->w)/2,(200-bmp->h)/2,bmp->w,bmp->h);
destroy_bitmap (bmp);
readkey();
allegro_exit();
return 0;
}
