President's Message from Peter MaherJAVA and ILE and V4R5 oh my!Denoncourt Wows 'em in May! Last month WAM presented Don Denoncourt for an all day seminar on JAVA for RPG Programmers. This was one of the best presentations in a long time! Most all of the attendees were very pleased with Don's knowledge of the subject and the ease with which he presented it. Due to the overwhelming demand we will be bringing Don back later this year for an evening meeting. On a WAM self-congratulatory note I think all in attendance will agree that this event was the greatest deal of the century. Many thanks to all who made this such a great event.

However, with the technology such as TCP/IP, ODBC, FTP, Client Access or the Internet on your AS/400s, your security can be quickly compromised, especially if you don't have your AS/400 security configured properly.
