Re: [AD] loading pcx from memory

I wonder, has the patch to overload the pack routines been added to 
Allegro? This would allow us to make things like memory-mapped files 
more easily.

Is it because your game generates the file? Otherwise, I don't see any 
advantage of using this. Plus, you made the original load_pcx() use 2x 
the memory!
