After watching the flames fly for a week or so here I must interject, i have had
a flickerfixer hooked to my A2000 for about 2 months now on botha Zenith 
ZCM-1490 Flat Tension Monitor and a Sony CDP-1302 Multiscan Monitor.  
I have also been playing aroound with animation routines in that time and
I can categorically state that object -=>DO<=- come apart when using it.
It looks like every object has a slightly serrated edge on both sides and
to me is not at all objectionable but if I had my choice I would rather it
not be there.  It does fix the flicker problem in interlace mode and thats what 
I bought it for, since I have been doing a radar display where I work and this
must be in 640X400 mode I find it an excellent display solution to my problem,
but I recomend to anyone who wants one to look at the serrated edge effect that
it causes on all animation objects and decide for themselves if they like it.
I would much rather have slight edges on my animation objects then 1/4" gaps
between scan lines!!!(I find scan line gap very objectionable and rough edges
on sprites and bobs much less so -=> BUT THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY <=-


NOTE : Because of the scan line gap fill function of flicker fixer bobs and
sprites in non interlace mode also have serrated vertical edges!!
