It's just an exclamation, like "wow" or "by God". Some people find "by
God" offensive because their religion says it is a form of swearing,
so they use "Jove" instead; Jove is a Roman god, so for modern
Christians, "By Jove" is a less severe form of swearing than "by God".
Always interesting, the places comp.lang.ada gets to :).
