- Traceroute mode would stop after less than 30 hops if the last hops
didn't answer. More thanks to Robert Dinges.

- New -W parameter. Warm-up was default until now, but is no longer.

v2.24

- If the last ping in traceroute mode produced a "*", the hops' IP

address would not be printed, even if some earlier ping to the same
host succeeded. Fixed. Thanks to Robert Dinges for his tip.

v2.23

- Added display of IP Identification field. Thanks to Daniel Hahler

and c't magazine for the idea. See c't 23/2003, p. 212 for more

v2.22

testing.

Specify behind the -r parameter.

Errorlevel will be 2 if it has at least the specified version,
1 otherwise.

v2.02

- Added -E switch. hrPING will stop pinging, if the file specified

after -E exists. Note that it still honors the -t, -n switches.

- hrPING will return errorlevel 0 only if all ping packets were

replied (sequence does not matter, though).

v2.01

- First public release.
