  SAVE
       
          An assembler for the Burroughs 220 by Melvin Conway (see
          Conway's Law).  The name "SAVE" didn't stand for anything,
          it was just that you lost fewer card decks and listings
          because they all had SAVE written on them.

  save
       
           To copy data to a more
          permanent form of storage.  The term is commonly used for when
          some kind of document editing application program writes the
          current document from RAM to a file on hard disk at the
          request of the user.  The implication is that the user might
          later load the file back into the editor again to view it,
          print it, or continue editing it.  Saving a document makes it
          safe from the effects of power failure.
       
          The "document" might actually be anything, e.g. a word
          processor document, the current state of a game, a piece of
          music, a web site, or a memory image of some program being
          executed (though the term "dump" would probably be more common
          here).
       
          Data can be saved to any kind of (writable) storage: hard
          disk, floppy disk, CD-R; either locally or via a
          network.
       
          A program might save its data without any explicit user
          request, e.g. periodically as a precaution ("auto save"), or
          if it forms part of a pipeline of processes which pass data
          via intermediate files.  In the latter case the term suggests
          all data is written in a single operation whereas "output"
          might be a continuous flow, in true pipeline fashion.
       
          When copying several files from one storage medium to another,
          the terms "back-up", "dump", or "archive" would be used rather
          than "save".  The term "store" is similar to "save" but
          typically applies to copying a single item of data, e.g. a
          number, from a processor's register to RAM.
