/B?L?T/, /bl@t/, /belt/, n.,vt.
Synonym for blit. This is the original form of blit and the ancestor of
bitblt. It referred to any large bit-field copy or move operation (one
resource-intensive memory-shuffling operation done on pre-paged versions of
ITS, WAITS, and TOPS-10 was sardonically referred to as ?The Big BLT?). The
jargon usage has outlasted the PDP-10 BLock Transfer instruction from
which BLT derives; nowadays, the assembler mnemonic BLT almost always
means ?Branch if Less Than zero?.
