The file eg.dat belongs to software MultiRes by PC Tools Pty. MultiRes is a simple program that allows users to change the resolution of the monitor screen with a few clicks. It works like a 32-bit version of Microsoft QuickRes 16-bit applet for Windows 95, with administrative scripting facilities and extended capabilities to handle refresh rates and multiple monitors. MultiRes provides support for up to nine monitors and has dedicated options to open the Windows Display Properties menu that enables the user to access more advanced configuration settings. supported resolution and refresh rates are accessible from the command line or from a simple menu that pops up from the system tray. MultiRes has an optional timed confirmation prompt that is enabled by default in the program About box, which ensures that any changes made by the user in the screen resolution can be reversed safely.
