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.
