GZIP (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-Loup
Gailly for the GNU project.
This program was developed as a replacement for compress because of the UNISYS
and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents
made it impossible to legally use compress, so a replacement was need. The
superior compression ratio of GZIP is just a bonus.
