Code of the day
Â
Arnold asked Greg Bailey to comment on the code, which is as follows:
Glo:UserPath = Path() Glo:ImportFileName = '*.csv' if not FILEDIALOGA('Choose File',Glo:ImportFileName,'*.csv',0) then. SETPATH(Glo:UserPath) do OpenFiles set( DosFile1 ) TotalInputBytes = bytes( DosFile1 ) if TotalInputBytes = 0 message( 'witty remark' ) else loop next( DosFile1 ) CurrentBytes += bytes( DosFile1 ) clear( y# ) loop x# = 1 to bytes( DosFile1 ) y# += 1 if ds1:Buffer[ x# ] <> '<10>' ds2:Buffer[ y# ] = ds1:Buffer[ x# ] else ds2:Buffer[ y# : y# + 1 ] = '<13,10>' y# += 1 append( DosFile2, y# ) y# = 0 end end!loop append( DosFIle2, y# ) if CurrentBytes = TotalInputBytes then break. end!loop end!if do CloseFiles
Feature presentation - Pratik Patel
Pratik presented the SonicWall commercial grade network firewall, which he always uses when he needs to protect a network. SonicWall provides extensive antivirus, antispyware, intrusion detection and other security features.
These are affordable dedicated hardware devices that protect your internal network.Â
You still want antivirus software on the devices because there are other ways to bring software on board such as USB drives.Â
Pratik doesn't recommend getting a firewall with wireless - instead set up a separate WiFi access point, in fact one for your own machines and another for guests.Â
As Pratik showed, with SonicWall you can get a really good idea of all of the scary intrusion attempts that are constantly being executed against public IP addresses.Â

If you want to be scared about network security, and you should be, watch this webinar. It's not just about network firewall appliances - it's about how to stay safe in the age of the internet.Â
