While in my local Amiga store a bit ago, I saw an A2500 (with FlickerFixer)
running in what appeared to be 640x200 interlace.  This looked really* nice,
and I want to do the same on my A1000 (I don't like big gaps between scanlines
on my monitor).

According to page 18 of RKM: L&D, if one sets the LACE flag in the View
structure without setting it in the corresponding ViewPort(s), one gets
an interlaced display without paying the penalties memory-wise.  So I figure,
okay, sounds simple.  Well, I tried all kinds of ways of monkeying around with
ViewLord in IntuitionBase, and all I get is a big crash or absolutely nothing.
It would seem the easiest approach should be:

        struct View  *pView;

        pView = ViewAddress();
        pView->Modes |= LACE;
        RemakeDisplay();


So, am I missing something obvious?
