Welcome to TVToys 1.4
This demonstration program is slightly different, it's a somewhat experimental programming illustration. RESTEST uses a config file to save video mode info, automatic video detection flags and the last TV video state on exit. Try to run the program more than once.
It first creates a resource file, with one font in it (Choosing the third entry on the Lines menu or the "This is a font resource!" in the font selection dialog will load the font from the resource file) }
RESTEST will then ask you what video detection you want. If you unselect VESA or Video 7, RESTEST will never look for them.
