 i want to read in an image file(*.bmp) and inport it to allegro,but i
found no built-in functions can do this(open a port in binary mode and
read file bit by bit),
i also need to write some information in binary mode.

    Hi Elek,

    I have written code to do this. See /forums/T/10154.aspx

    Hi,

    You will need to create the allegro.ilinit file using a text editor. This should go in your [ALLEGRO_SITE]\pcb\skill folder.

    ie. c:\myAllegroSite\pcb\skill where your ALLEGRO_SITE Windows environment variable is set to c:\myAllegroSite.

    I don't recommend putting it in C:\Cadence\SPB_xx.x\tools\pcb\skill because you will lose that when you update your Allegro version.

    There are several clever features available to you in an ilinit file but you can just add the line:

    load("logoMaker_public.il")

    Cheers, Dave
