You can also use a third party application like MoleBox.

Graphic file formats used to fascinate me, but now I find them rather satanic.

Just use the exedat command line tool, that is shipped with Allegro. It's in the tools directory.

To load a datafile appended to the executable use the
load_datafile("#");
function. NOTE: Use the # symbol as the file name.

Manual

Give a man a fish and he will have food for one day,
but give a man a fishing rod and he will have food for his entire life.

I've always heard:
"Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day!" ;D
