	The genesis of the program name joff will become clearer if you
know that the Bell-internal name of the BLIT was the Jerq. That's what it
was called until the marketing types got wind of it. I haven't used a BLIT
since I left Bell Labs 15 months ago, but the system directories for the
BLIT were still called things like /user/jerq.
