README for sping 1.2
--------------------

sping is a minimal, secure, implementation of the common ping utility. It
offers far less control over the packet options that may be specified with
other implementations (packet size, delay between packets, etc.) - this is
a feature, both for security and bandwidth.

`make install' will install the ping binary and manual page into /usr/local
(by default) and `make doc' will format the manual page in HTML, Postscript
and PDF. Please read the manual page after installation.

Please see ping.c for important copyright and license information; it should
be noted that there is no warranty whatsoever.
