Use ResEdit to open the "INIT" resources.  Typically they have titles
like "INIT 'FOO' ID = 26".  If there is one called JClock, delete
it, reboot the machine, warn people not to do bozo things
to your system file ever again, and you are in business.

The copies of JClock I have seen ARE named, but the name on the resource
isn't required to get it to work.  In general, deleting an UNnamed
resource is questionable, since you don't know if another program's
installer program has put it there or not.  In this case, I'd just
copy all the fonts and DA's, put a fresh system on, and restore them.
(This is a good idea ANYWAY, as it will make it easier to restore
your hard disk when it crashes.  Yes, when, not if -- believe me.
The sole function of disks is to crash, on any computer ever invented.)

There is also supposed to be a JClock uninstaller program, but if
you had it you wouldn't be asking ....
