TIPS:  Tip: Zip from LotusScript in Notes/Domino 6 LotusScript does not have a native class for compressing files to .zip format. This tip shows you how change that, if you are running Notes or Domino R6 (or newer), by using the ability of LotusScript to make calls to functionality that is available in the Java language. Is that REALLY Ed McMahon calling? [The Register] Star 69, Star 70, Star Jones -- and now Star 38 is about to be a star "Star." New site www.Star38.com is a Web interface to a Caller ID spoofing system. Subscribers can use the system to pick the number they want to pop up on the recipient's Caller ID screen. This could mean creditors, in-laws and scorned loves could try to pass themselves off as someone else -- Publishers Clearing House maybe -- to hoodwink the person on the other end of the line to pick up. Star38.com eventually may hit some legal snags, but for now, beware the spoofers.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
