I found the earliest succession of roff predecessors
went something like this:
TJ-2 -> RUNOFF (capitals) -> runoff (lowercase) -> rf -> roff
Did you manage to find out from Jerry if he knew of/anything about TJ2 when he did
RUNOFF?

I did not. I was on a pretty tight deadline when I was writing the article, and didn’t
have time to explore. I would love to do so some day, though. I’m particularly interested
in the evolution of markup systems, and as far as I can tell, not much has been recorded
for posterity.
