Hi all!
I get an error with net-ping.

newLISP v.9.0.9 on Win32, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

> (net-ping "www.google.com")

invalid function : (net-ping "www.google.com")

what's wrong with it?

From the manual: "This function is only available on UNIX-based systems and must be run in superuser mode."

(net-lookup "www.google.com")
"64.233.183.99"

Any use?
