BLT n 1: sandwich filled with slices of bacon and tomato with lettuce [syn: {bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich}, {BLT}]
BLT /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".
