+======Synopsis:======
+[[load]] sping \\
+/set sping_timeout <integer> \\
+/sping //server// \\
+/vping //server//
+======Description:======
+This script implements two commands which allow you to "ping" a server.
+Pinging is the measurement of round-trip communication to a server.
+The /sping command sends a PING protocol command to //server//, and when
+that PING is responded to with a PONG, the script will tell you how long
+it took.
+The /vping command sends a VERSION protocol command to //server//, and when
+that VERSION is responded to with a version reply (numeric 351) or a
+"you're a loser, go away and die, punk" reply (numeric 263), the script will
+tell you how long it took.
+The /set sping_timeout value (default 120) controls how many seconds shall
+elapse before the script decides the server is not going to respond.  It
+will then tell you the request has timed out.
+Some networks have tightened down your ability to send commands to remote
+servers; The /sping or /vping commands may not work if your network has
+changed the protocol to disallow remote requests.  On these networks, all
+requests may time out.
+======History:======
+This script first appeared in epic4-1.2.2.
