1. What is this thing for, anyway?
        
        OmniPing was developed for network administrators and engineers
        for the purpose of network analysis and, in particular,
        IP address tracking, recovery, and assignment.   

        OmniPing can be used to verify what machines are running
        on a network, to find unused IP addresses from machines
        that are no longer attached to the network, or to help in
	organization and planning of network restructuring. 
        
        In OmniPing Professional, the result of each OmniPing "run" can
	be saved to database.  There is even a nice report to show free
	and used IP addresses after a number of  runs have been saved!

2. Requirements
        
        Software and Operating System:

                OmniPing is a 32 bit application, and has been tested
                in Windows 95 and NT 4.   
                
                Note:   Win95 users may have to upgrade to WinSock 2
                        in order to use OmniPing.  (If you do, OmniPing
                        will tell you.)  This upgrade is free from 
                        Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com, or from
                        various places on the web.  If you have trouble
                        finding it, drop us a note, and we will point 
                        you to it. 
                        
                        Windows NT 4.x users need not be concerned 
                        with this.

        Hardware:

                Any Intel based machine that will run Windows 95 or NT 4.x 
                should run OmniPing without any problem.  A Network card or 
                Dial Up network connection is required in order to Ping.
