About a year ago I remember seeing a program which would run on an Apple
II or II+ and give the user 80 columns without additional hardware.  I
think the program was written in Germany, and had the problem of
flickering badly.  I had a copy of it lying around somewhere, but it seems
to have vanished.  I believe it used the hi-bit pixel shift effect and
page flipping to achieve a DHR effect for 80 column text, but did not
work while text was scrolling, and looked bad on a color monitor.  If
someone knows where I can locate this program, please leave me mail.
