of a computer's memory to another part, particularly when the
memory is being used to determine what is shown on a display

down again." See {bitblt}, {BLT}, {dd}, {cat},
{blast}, {snarf}. More generally, to perform some operation

2. All-capitalized as `BLIT': an early experimental bit-mapped

:blitter: /blit'r/ n. A special-purpose chip or hardware system

them (however, see {cycle of reincarnation}). Syn. {raster
blaster}.
