Hello everyone,

  There's been a lot of traffic on Allegro lately, so I guess quite a few
people are using it. So I thought some others might be interested in a little
utility I've been throwing together.

  It takes an Allegro .DAT file, and spits out the data into a .C file so that
you can "compile" it into the executable. Currently I've only implemented
BITMAPs, PALETTEs and FONTs, but the others are on the way.

  It's handy sometimes for including palettes and small bitmaps that are going
to be a permanant part of the executable and you don't want to include a .DAT
file with the executable.

  Anyone interested?

  Karl
