Welcome to Time-In!
The program is very simple. It will ping a single host
every 5 seconds and return the ping time. It's great for keeping
that connection from timing out!
This program requires TCP/IP be installed. If it is not installed, this program
will not function. To install TCP/IP, if it is not already installed, use OS/2's
'Selective Install' in the 'Install/Remove' folder in the 'System Setup'
folder for OS/2 version 4, and 'Selective Install' in the 'System Setup' for
OS/2 version 3.
To begin:
1. Run timein.exe.
2. Enter the IP of the host you wish to ping.
Note: it will *not* take host names ( i.e. www.somehost.com )
3. Press the 'Ping' button.
The program will ping that host until it is closed.
This version is freeware, but if you wish to register for a small fee of $5.00,
I will send you the more featured version. That one will include:
Starting/Stoping of the pinging
Command line parameters for instant pinging
Ability to set how long between each ping
Ability to use hostnames ( i.e. www.host.com )
Also, if people will use it, I may add the ability to ping
multiple hosts and start and stop each one and for the
program to remember all host for the next time you start
the application.
If you are interested in registering, send the following information:
1. If you wish to receive the program by U.S. mail:
Name:
Address:
City:
State:
Zip:

2. if you wish to receive the program by e-mail:

3. Also, include a check or money order for $5.00 payable to 'Steve Yarbrough' for each copy you wish to register
And send it to:

4. Your copy will arrive as soon as humanly posibble!
Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy Time-In!
