=================================================== SEARCH400.COM DAILY NEWS June 19, 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!

Who is Bill Gates? Now, who is Carly Fiorina? If you could answer the first but not the second question, you are not alone. Despite being named the Most Powerful Woman in Business by Fortune magazine, only 12% of IT professionals recognize Hewlett-Packard's female CEO, compared with 98% who recognize Gates. A new survey by Roper Starch released by Deloitte & Touche, found few women are leading tech companies. Only one of 10 surveyed said the owner or CEO of their company was a woman. That is only 10%, compared to 17% in other industries. It makes those stodgy, old economy firms look positively enlightened.
