Uh, methinks Jack uses "ScrollRaster()".  If so, then, no, you can't fix
the flicker.  That routine has to do a LOT of work, and probably what you're
seeing is the different bitplanes being scrolled (first one, then the others).
If JRComm permits, try switching to a 1 bitplane screen (monochrome, don't
you know) and see if that helps.  On a 1 bitplane screen, ScrollRaster only
has to do the one bitplane.  Shouldn't flicker then.

Then again, I could be wrong.   Nahhhhhh!  Not possible!  8-)
