IBM Jargon Dictionary notwithstanding, I recall the title of the program
as Change/Create Label Information Program.
----------------------------<unsnip>-------------------------
According to the source code (available on request<G>), the only NEW
label it will write is on a tape; on DASD devices, it will only UPDATE
an existing label.
I was taught theat CLIP meant CHANGE LABEL IN PLACE.
Hey Rick, I sent you an email offline earlier about getting a copy of the source
code. Or was that <G> next to: (available on request<G>) just for S&G's?
(Giggles or Grins?).

I'm sitting here looking at the original CLIP manual, from 40+ years
ago, and the title says "Clip/360: Change/Create Label Identification
Program For System/360 DASD And Tape" and the authors are identified as
J. B. Blomquist and M. J. Franco. Since they wrote the program, and the
manual, I'm inclined to accept their title.
