SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Video for Windows Runtime setup script (SETUP.MST) contains calls
to a number of functions. All the functions are documented except for the
VflatdPresent() function.

The VflatdPresent() function detects whether the line "device=dva.386" exists in
the SYSTEM.INI file. If the line doesn't exist, the CreateSysIniKey() function
creates the entry. This code is necessary to avoid the possibility of having two
identical entries in the SYSTEM.INI file, which would result in a warning being
generated during setup. The DVA.386 file is the virtual device driver that
provides direct video access internally to Video for Windows.
