If I were to place a binary file named foo.255 (the extension doesn't
matter, or does it?) into a Allegro datafile, and that binary file had a
single string (e.g. "Big things"), how would I load that string into a char
pointer or object?

e.g.

// not functioning code, just a snippet
char buffer[40];
