For animation with 3.1g an .ini setting of +J5.5 results in the
expected supersampling of 5.5 in the parsing report. So does -J5.5. Only
-J by itself results in 1.0. 

	I have yet to test if this is an artifact of the parsing report or it
is in fact rendered with 5.5 wheter plus or minus.

I seem to remember being confused by this before.
 When rendering an anim, it's best (I think) to turn jitter off. I used -j,
but jitter remained at 1.0. I think I managed to turn off jitter by using
jitter=off in my ini file.

I use +J0.00

POV doesn't use jittering when the value after +J is non-positive.
However POV still parses and remembers that value and then reports it.

Try -J5.5 +J and see if it makes a difference with -J5.5 and +J on
their own.

	Thanks to all on this. It looks like I have to test this but the
consensus appears to be -J5.5 == -J regardless of what is reported. When
I get to it I will post.

I always have to put +j0.0 in the command line to be sure there isn't any
jitter used.  Seems it never works in the ini when I try it there, or didn't
before or something.
-j0.0 should work okay too but I think it didn't if iirc.  That would be like
saying turn jitter off then use jitter = 0.0 next time according to the help
file.  Jitter isn't the easiest thing to check for correctness, would have to
be good test conditions.

	I have now tested it. The visual difference may be there but not
noticable by me. Therefore -Jx.x is the same as -J to the limits of my 
visual abilith and my screen resolution.
