	What sort of logic is this?  Just because things moved in 1/60th
second intervals will break up WITHOUT the flickerFixer doesn't excuse the
fact that objects moved every *1/30th* second break up WITH fF.  For the
nth time:  the problem is that fF displays two 200-line fields that DO NOT
GO TOGETHER.  This is NEVER the case in the normal interlaced display,
therefore software written to synch at 1/30th second will look right,
whereas with fF it WILL NOT, if the rate of movement exceeds 1 pixel every
1/30th second.  Am I not correct in stating that the mouse pointer is moved
by the system every 1/30th second?  If this is true, then it should NEVER
break up if two matched fields are always displayed together.  But it does!
See:  I'm waving it at you right now!  I don't know how to make it any
clearer. :-)
