      {Quadrant of altitude}, an appendage of the artificial globe,
            consisting of a slip of brass of the length of a quadrant
            of one of the great circles of the globe, and graduated.
            It may be fitted to the meridian, and being movable round
            to all points of the horizon, serves as a scale in
            measuring altitudes, azimuths, etc.

   Generic Routing Encapsulation
  
      (GRE) A {protocol} which allows an

      of A within GRE packets, which in turn are contained within
      packets of B.

   Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface
  
      (GSS-API) An application level
      interface ({API}) to system security services.   It provides a
      generic interface to services which may be provided by a
      variety of different security mechanisms.   {Vanilla} GSS-API
      supports {security contexts} between two entities (known as
      "principals").
  
      GSS-API is a draft internet standard which is being developed
      in the {Common Authentication Technology Working Group}
      (cat-wg) of the {Internet Engineering Task Force} (IETF).
  
      Initial specifications for GSS-API appeared in {RFC 1508} and
      {RFC 1509}.   Subsequent revisions appeared in several draft
      standards documents.

   generic type variable
  
      (Also known as a "schematic type variable").
      Different occurrences of a generic type variable in a type
      expression may be instantiated to different types.   Thus, in
      the expression
  
      let id x = x in
      (id True, id 1)
  
      id's type is (for all a: a -> a).   The universal {quantifier}
      "for all a:" means that a is a generic type variable.   For the
      two uses of id, a is instantiated to Bool and Int.   Compare
      this with
  
      let id x = x in
      let f g = (g True, g 1) in
      f id
  
      This looks similar but f has no legal {Hindley-Milner type}.
      If we say
  
      f :: (a -> b) -> (b, b)
  
      this would permit g's type to be any instance of (a -> b)
      rather than requiring it to be at least as general as (a ->
      b).   Furthermore, it constrains both instances of g to have
      the same result type whereas they do not.   The type variables
      a and b in the above are implicitly quantified at the top
      level:
  
      f :: for all a: for all b: (a -> b) -> (b, b)
  
      so instantiating them (removing the {quantifier}s) can only be
      done once, at the top level.   To correctly describe the type
      of f requires that they be locally quantified:
  
      f :: ((for all a: a) -> (for all b: b)) -> (c, d)
  
      which means that each time g is applied, a and b may be
      instantiated differently.   f's actual argument must have a
      type at least as general as ((for all a: a) -> (for all b:
      b)), and may not be some less general instance of this type.
      Type variables c and d are still implicitly quantified at the
      top level and, now that g's result type is a generic type
      variable, any types chosen for c and d are guaranteed to be
      instances of it.
  
      This type for f does not express the fact that b only needs to
      be at least as general as the types c and d.   For example, if
      c and d were both Bool then any function of type (for all a: a
      -> Bool) would be a suitable argument to f but it would not
      match the above type for f.

   GNU archive site
  
      The main {GNU} {FTP archive} is on gnu.org but
      copies ("{mirrors}") of some or all of the files there are
      also held on many other computers around the world.   To avoid
      overloading gnu.org and the {Internet} you should
      {FTP} files from the machine closest to yours (you may be able
      to use {traceroute} to determine which is logically closest if
      it's not obvious from the transfer rate).   Trans-ocean
      {TCP/IP} links are very expensive and usually very slow.
  
      The following {hosts} mirror GNU files.   Look for a directory
      like /pub/gnu, /mirrors/gnu, /systems/gnu or /archives/gnu.
      {Electronic mail addresses} of administrators and {Internet
      address}es are given for some hosts.
