[Max Bowsher]

'Help me' requests are off-topic for cygwin-apps@. I've already seen and
answered your question on cygwin@. Yes, if we get into discussing the
Cygwin-specific modifications to Net::Ping that I hinted at in my reply to you
at cygwin@, it may be appropriate to move this discussion here, but only in that
case.
