- What Is APING?
-
- APING is a CPI-C program that should be the first program you configure and
- run when first configuring APPC on your computer. APING exchanges data
- packets with a partner computer, and times how long the data transfer takes.
- It can be used to get a coarse measure of the session setup time between two
- computers, and the throughput and turnaround time on that APPC session.
- APING can be used to determine whether a session can be set up between two
- computers, and will display extensive error information if session allocation
- fails.
- APING is made up of two transaction programs; APING, which runs on the client
- side, and APINGD, which runs on the server side.
-
- This distribution file for version 2.34 contains:
-
- APING.EXE - Client program
- APINGD.EXE - Server program
- Both .EXE files are compiled as Family mode executables (run in both
- OS/2 and DOS). Extended Services (or Networking Services/2) is required
- on OS/2 and Networking Services/DOS is required for DOS.
-
- Source has not been included with this distribution of APING. If you are
- interested in obtaining the source code, it is available on CompuServe
- in the APPC forum (GO APPC, see Samples library) or from the author.
