Two small corrections to my earlier note (it was late when I
wrote it).

Bart Locanthi invented the Blit hardware, Rob Pike wrote
much of the software.

Blits were known internally as Jerqs, in homage to the
Three Rivers' Perq.  Thus Bart's paper on how to assemble
your shiney new Blit from parts was called ``Jerqs are Made,
not Born''.
