I seem to remember reading that the Unix command "biff" which notifies the user of new mail was inspired by B1FF. I was going to add it to the article, but I'm really not sure. Does anyone else know?

:No, biff pre-dates B1FF by many many years. biff was named after a dog which barked very loud whenever the post was delivered. --[[User:anonmyous_coward|anonymous_coward]]

Should all of those really be "BIFF" - or "B1FF"?

I'm confused.  The tag states the document came from FOLDOC, yet the text is visible in an unwikified form on the Jargon File. [[User:Chriscf|Chris]] 21:41, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
:FOLDOC copies a lot of material from the Jargon File. The actual FOLDOC entries say (Jargon File) on them. [[User:DopefishJustin|DopefishJustin]] [[User talk:DopefishJustin|(&#12539;&#8704;&#12539;)]] 23:27, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

Much of this article seems to be a direct copy of [http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/B/B1FF.html this].

:[[Eric S. Raymond|ESR]] typically has no problem with people redistributing the Jargon File - in fact, you can find (typically out-of-date) mirrors around the Interweb. [[User:Chriscf|Chris]] 06:23, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
