=================================================== SEARCH400.COM DAILY NEWS July 24, 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!

Sales of the enterprise storage system surged 55% to an estimated $350 million during the second quarter. The boost in business is helping Big Blue attack rival EMC, which saw its storage system business shrink by 19%. Shark's resurgence came amid steep price cutting in an industry rocked by a downturn in global tech spending.

This writer compares the iSeries to Masada, the totally self-contained city that was built on a hill. With its strong walls and good defenses, the city did a good job of repelling the Roman army. The iSeries also has to ward of wanderers that have the potential to cause harm. The defenses found in your iSeries are called exit programs. Because most folks don't have time to keep up with the changes, debug problems and write their own programs, this writer decided to examine a program that already capitalizes on this technology.

According to a recent study, the poor mental health effects of the Internet have disappeared. The psychologist who conducted both studies said that either the Internet has changed or people have learned to use it more constructively. So you might not be depressed any more, but using the Internet still might make you a bit edgy. The report concludes that the Internet is still a great source of stress for some people.
