Cip, for those who never heard of it, was an inverse of pic:
create a picture by mouse clicks and get pic code back.
It was written by Sally Browning at Bell Labs and was
included in the 10th edition research UNIX system. I am
not aware that it ever got distributed outside Bell Labs
research.
I don't know whether the resulting pic code was intelligible
enough to be easily modified, or was impenetrable like HTML
that comes from Microsoft Word. But you could ask her.
