=================================================== SEARCH400.COM DAILY NEWS June 14, 2001 More headlines at: http://search400.techtarget.com/news/0,289141,sid3,00.html =================================================== SPONSORED BY: Trailblazer Systems =================================================== WHY DO OVER 1,000 CUSTOMERS USE ZMOD FTP from TrailBlazer Systems? Because native batch FTP scripting doesn't offer recovery, encryption or data formatting options. ZMOD FTP is an AS/400-based FTP client that provides S/MIME, SSL and TLS encryption. It also provides automatic reformatting of data (DDS <---> XML, CSVs, etc.). Best of all, you can recover from an error WHEN IT OCCURS because every FTP command is a CL command (MONMSG on GETs, PUTs, DELs....). ZMOD FTP pays for itself the first time you prevent damage. Why wait when you can implement reliable and secure FTP NOW!

It's the call of the wild. A bird expert in Australia says his country's so-called "mimic birds" are now parroting the sounds of cell phone rings. Mostly the males do it; they're showing off to potential mates and telling other birds "this is my territory." Apparently they're also saying, "Hey babe, Nokia makes it ring, but I make it sing."
