  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  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}.
