PIP
     
         Peripheral Interchange Program.
     
        A program on {CP/M}, {RSX-11}, {RSTS/E}, {TOPS-10}, and {OS/8}
        (derived from a utility on the {PDP-6}) that was used for file
        copying (and in OS/8 and RT-11 for just about every other file
        operation you might want to do).  It is said that when the
        program was written, during the development of the PDP-6 in
        1963, it was called ATLATL ("Anything, Lord, to Anything,
        Lord"; this played on the Nahuatl word "atlatl" for a
        spear-thrower, with connotations of utility and primitivity
        that were no doubt quite intentional).
     
        See also {BLT}, {dd}, {cat}.
