:I was under the impression (mistaken?) that a multi-sync, by definition
:would not flicker in interlaced mode.  I was at a local Amigoid type 
:computer store and they had an NEC multi-sync running interlaced workbench
:(standard colors) and there wasn't a trace of flicker.  Go figure.

	It sounds like it was simply a high persistance monitor, or maybe
there was a de-interlacer installed in the Amiga.  A multi-sync simply
adjusts itself to the video rate of the computer, so a computer sending
interlace is displayed as interlace.  De-interlacing requires a frame buffer.
