From Jargon File (4.3.3, 20 Sep 2002) [jargon]:
demon n. 1. [MIT] A portion of a program that is not invoked
explicitly, but that lies dormant waiting for some condition(s) to
occur. See {daemon}. The distinction is that demons are usually
processes within a program, while daemons are usually programs running
on an operating system. 2. [outside MIT] Often used equivalently to
{daemon} -- especially in the {{Unix}} world, where the latter spelling
and pronunciation is considered mildly archaic.
