If I understand you (and the other guy who sent me email -- thanks) then 
interlace still might not be such a bad idea for displaying things like
the GIF files in alt.sex.pictures,  err, I mean alt.car.pictures.  Yeah,

Such GIF pictures don't generally have such abrupt detail.  So they should
work with interlace?
