You should check these for success; if they fail, future Allegro
functions may crash.

`datafile' is an uninitialized pointer.  You probably mean to use `data'
from "fog.h".  Also, why load the datafile if it's compiled in?  You
might want to read GRABBER.TXT for more info on using compiled
datafiles; what you've got is rather shaky.
