Allegro saves the palette data and the bitmap data seperately. You
must first read in the bitmap..grab the bitmap data.. then make a new
palette and grab the palette info from the bitmap. Then you can use
set_palette(); to set up the correct palette before blitting the
bitmap to the screen.. That should fix the color problem.
