From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [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}. [{Jargon File}] (1995-03-28)
