    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.
