I'm a little uncertain on what I need to do to display the RLE sprites from
a .pcx file. The function:

RLE_SPRITE get_rle_sprite(BITMAP *bitmap);

My question would actually be on the BITMAP struct. What I tried to do was
to pass the FILE handle to the BITMAP->dat variable, thinking that that is
supposed to be the handle to the image data. I could be doing this
completely wrong.. well, I'm pretty certain I am because I keep getting
that lovely error SIGSEGV.. 

I guess I'm just hoping for some clarification on what needs to go into the
BITMAP struct for passing it to this function. As I said earlier I'm trying
to display .pcx files which are RLE encoded bitmaps.
