[MiNT] AES & VDI test tools

[Paul Wratt <paul.wratt@gmail.com>]

below is a pixel format detection tool (that may be working for ARAnyM
by the time you reply) form Lonny.

I am wondering if anyone else has tools that can test VDI and AES
levels, compatibility, and (of particular interest to me) speeds. I
know some of this is available in Kronos, but I am refering to
generated function call output lists, and levels of compatibility
etc.. not just overall testing

Anything that could contribute to a set of tools would a great start
(if nothing is already available), a set of tools that could be
combines with "a test suite" mentioned by Mark

cheers

Paul

Cool!

Far as I know the only mode it won't detect correctly is crazydots in 16
colors.  It's not interleaved like the Atari st low rez if I remember
correctly.

I'll add a key wait.  ;-)
