Better yet, pick up Fish disk #79 and look for a program called 'setlace'
in the AsmTools directory, or get disk #8 and pick up the copy by Bob
Pariseau (written in C). The purpose of the code is to put your screen
in 'Interlace' mode, however it does NOT generate a 400 line display
rather is duplicates the same display in both fields. (Some versions of
ShowAnim leave your screen interlaced but this is a bug). This will 
eliminate the black lines inside the characters.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
