• blit /blit/ vt. 1. [common] To copy a large array of bits from one part of a computer's memory to another pa
  particularly when the memory is being used to determine what is shown on a display screen....
• bitblt: /bit'blit/ n. [from {BLT}, q.v.] 1. Any of a family of closely related algorithms for moving and copying rectangles of bits between main and display memory on a bit-mapped device
  or between two areas of either main or display memory (the requirement to do the {Right Thing} in the case of overlapping source and destination rectangles is what makes BitBlt tricky)....
• What is a bit blit? This is a transfer of pixels (dots) from one location in memory, or on the screen, to another.
  Bit blits are commonly used on bit-map display terminals....

• mart terminal: n. 1. A terminal that has enough computing capability to render graphics or to offload some kind of front-end processing from the computer it talks to.
  The development of workstations and personal computers has made this term and the product it describes semi-obsolescent, but one may still hear variants of the phrase `act like a smart terminal' used to describe the behavior of workstations or PCs with respect to programs that execute almost entirely out of a remote {server}'s storage, using said devices as displays....
