RE: ping.exe

By using that command you are running a Windows program, ping.exe; that is the screen that comes up. This ping is unrelated to the Plus! command.

You can compare it to using /run notepad

RE: ping.exe

it sends ICMP Ping packages, which get a response to say how long it takes a packet to make a round trip. the response is called a Pong.

Plus! has implemented a version of this.

gotta love the early computer ppl, who came up with the names
