<eat my line>

	There has been a lot of talk (and flak) about the apparent
'unusable' interlace mode of the AMIGA. I have seen a 640 x 400
screen that didn't seem to flicker at all and looked dynamite!
BUT the programmer did use a trick to accomplish this feat.

	The trick is to plot a pixel ON and ABOVE the line where the
pixel is to be placed. This still results in an effective resolution
of 400 lines BUT reduces the flicker to almost zilch. I saw this
implemented on a terminal program and a graphics display and they
both looked great on a 1080 monitor. Give it a try, the results
may surprize you!
