WHY DO OVER 1,000 CUSTOMERS USE ZMOD FTP from TrailBlazer 
Systems? Because native AS/400 FTP does not offer recovery 
WITHIN your FTP session, encryption, or data bridging and ZMOD 
FTP does.   MONMSG on ANY FTP command. Encrypt data using PGP, 
S/MIME, SSL, SSH and TLS. Data formatting (DDS <=> XML, CSV) and 
EDI Interfacing. ZMOD FTP pays for itself the first time you 
prevent damage. For a FREE trial, visit

THE OS/400 WORLD: SOMEWHAT SET APART | News: The Four Hundred 
The OS/400 platform was the only server platform to grow 
revenues in the third quarter of 2001, according to analysts at 
IDC. But is there more to those numbers than meet the eyes?

FLASH TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO CRM SUITE | News: The Four Hundred 
Clear Technologies recently announced it has completely 
overhauled its Engage CRM suite, which runs on top of Lotus 
Domino on the iSeries. The ISV says it's ready to start winning 
clients by doing things that tier-one CRM vendors don't: making 
affordable software that is easy to use and relatively simple to 
install.

THE MISSING LINK | He writes the songs: Mac songs

John Swerdan -- what Derek and the Dominoes were to "Layla," he 
is to Macintosh. The San Francisco area grade-school teacher has 
written and recorded an album of love songs inspired by his Mac! 
How very "PC" of him. You could say his computer is the Apple of 
his eye. Some of the song titles: "Startup/Hard Drive," 
"Quickdraw Bill" and "Poor Sad Mac." The album, "StartupSounds," 
is available on Swerdan's Web site. But he's not yet on the 
level of Bread, Manilow or Croce. So far he hasn't sold a single 
copy.
