I can't tell as I ran PK-lite over it.  IIRC, it's standard C and only
intended as a DOS app.  The outstanding... longstanding required fix is in
the {at}via line loop, where the 'buffer' isn't cleared after each line is
written.  You might have noticed the flaw in the response to your PING(?).

It ought to be FREQ-able as "pingproj" (without the quote marks).
 You may get a giggle out of the hamfisted coding.

Cheers,
Paul.
