ct_ping.txt   adaptation of the Minix-vmd ping command
posted 2003-01-22. Claudio Tantignone <ctantignone@hotmail.com>

In sending this to me Claudio said: I added the ping.c utility adapted
from Minix-VMD, it is useful because it is the traditional ping command.

I have repackaged the original file, received as ping.c.Z, in the archive 
ct_ping.tar.Z to distinguish it from the original standard Minix ping command
and to be consistent with my usual practice.

Unpack ct_ping.tar.Z in /usr/local/src to create /usr/local/src/ct_ping.

The following documentation is from comments in the ping.c source: 

   This source is adapted from Minix-VMD ping.
   Some routines are not available under standard Minix like gettimeofday.

   As ping needs resolution to miliseconds, and the time() routine returns
   resolution of seconds, I implemented the gettimeofday converting from ticks
   We lose milliseconds but it is better than computing only seconds in
   high speed links.

   Compile under Minix as 

   # cc -o ping -wa ping.c
   # chmem =16384 ping
   # mv ping /usr/local/bin
