From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   gzip
  
      {GNU} compression utility.   Gzip reduces
      the size of the named files using {Lempel-Ziv} {LZ77
      compression}.   Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one
      with the {filename extension} ".gz".   Compressed files can be
      restored to their original form using gzip -d or gunzip or
      zcat.
  
      The Unix "{compress}" utility is patented (by two separate
      patents, in fact) and is thus shunned by the GNU Project since
      it is not {free software}.   They have therefore chosen gzip,
      which is free of any known {software patent}s and which tends
      to compress better anyway.   All compressed files in the {GNU}
      {anonymous FTP} area (gnu.org/pub/gnu) are in gzip
      format and their names end in ".gz" (as opposed to
      "compress"-compressed files, which end in ".Z").
  
      Gzip can uncompress "compress"-compressed files and "pack"
      files (which end in ".z").   The decompression algorithms are
      not patented, only compression is.
  
      The gzip program is available from any {GNU archive site} in
      {shar}, {tar}, or gzipped tar format (for those who already
      have a prior version of gzip and want faster data
      transmission).   It works on virtually every {Unix} system,
      {MS-DOS}, {OS/2} and {VMS}.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gap
      a rent or opening in a wall (Ezek. 13:5; comp. Amos 4:3). The
      false prophets did not stand in the gap (Ezek. 22: 30), i.e.,
      they did nothing to stop the outbreak of wickedness.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Geba
      the hill, (2 Sam. 5:25 [1 Chr. 14:16, "Gibeon"]; 2 Kings 23:8;
      Neh. 11:31), a Levitical city of Benjamin (1 Kings 15:22; 1 Sam.
      13:16; 14:5, wrongly "Gibeah" in the A.V.), on the north border
      of Judah near Gibeah (Isa. 10:29; Josh. 18:24, 28). "From Geba
      to Beersheba" expressed the whole extent of the kingdom of
      Judah, just as "from Dan to Beersheba" described the whole
      length of Palestine (2 Kings 23:8). It has been identified with
      Gaba (Josh. 18:24; Ezra 2:26; Neh. 7:30), now Jeb'a, about 5 1/2
      miles north of Jerusalem.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gibeah
      a hill or hill-town, "of Benjamin" (1 Sam. 13:15), better known
      as "Gibeah of Saul" (11:4; Isa. 10:29). It was here that the
      terrible outrage was committed on the Levite's concubine which
      led to the almost utter extirpation of the tribe of Benjamin
      (Judg. 19; 20), only six hundred men surviving after a
      succession of disastrous battles. This was the birthplace of
      Saul, and continued to be his residence after he became king (1
      Sam. 10:26; 11:4; 15:34). It was reckoned among the ancient
      sanctuaries of Palestine (10:26; 15:34; 23:19; 26:1; 2 Sam.
      21:6-10), and hence it is called "Gibeah of God" (1 Sam. 10:5,
      R.V. marg.). It has been identified with the modern Tell el-Ful
      (i.e., "hill of the bean"), about 3 miles north of Jerusalem.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

      a pit, a place mentioned in 2 Sam. 21:18, 19; called also Gezer,
