I am trying to teach myself sprite usage by looking at the example
file exsprite.c but I cannot even get the file to compile as it came
with Allegro.  GPP gives me the following errors:

C:\DJGPP\allegro\examples>gpp exsprite.c -o exsprite.exe -lalleg
exsprite.c: In function `int main(int, char**)':
exsprite.c:100: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `const RGB*'
exsprite.c:117: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'
exsprite.c:127: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'
exsprite.c:137: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'
exsprite.c:147: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'
exsprite.c:160: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'
exsprite.c:174: error: invalid conversion from `void*' to `BITMAP*'

I'm assuming that the example files should not have any errors. Also
since I did not modify it at all I'm guessing that it is something
other than the code. I'm fairly new to C++ so any help at all getting
this example program to work would be greatly appreciated. I have had
no problems compiling any other of the example programs supplied with
Allegro.
