General Utilities - Applications that make your Windowed life an easier one. From new desktops to different file management systems and clean up programs, it can get better!
GIF Animation (Graphic Interchange Format) - Pictures on the Internet are mostly GIF and JPEG stills. But now GIFs move too! Simple animation programs create two frames of the animation. One is the GIF image in an "up" postion (the regular, still GIF image); the other is in a "down" postion. The program ties the 2 images together into a non-stop mini-movie.
gateway - The term "router" is now used in place of the original definition of "gateway". Currently, a gateway is a communications device/program which passes data between networks having similar functions but dissimilar implementations. This should not be confused with a protocol converter. By this definition, a router is a layer 3 (network layer) gateway, and a mail gateway is a layer 7 (application layer) gateway. See also: mail gateway, router, protocol converter.
Gopher - A distributed information service that makes available hierarchical collections of information across the Internet. Gopher uses a simple protocol that allows a single Gopher client to access information from any accessible Gopher server, providing the user with a single "Gopher space" of information. Public domain versions of the client and server are available.
