> load_bitmap(pic,pal);


Try "pic = load_bitmap("Test.bmp", pal);", Allegro takes the filename of the
bitmap as the first argument, and returns a pointer to a BITMAP structure,
as well as filling the palette structure named with the palette from the
file. Don't forget to destroy_bitmap(pic) when you are finished using it!
