• APING is a CPI-C program that should be the first program you configure and run when first configuring APPC on your computer. APING exchanges data packets with a partner computer, and times how long the data transfer takes.

• APPC Remote EXECution . AREXEC allows you to execute any single command line on a remote workstation.

• ATELL is a sample program that allows a workstation user to send a message to another workstation.

• Cluster Tools - Provides commands which allow you to work with cluster configuration information.

• Display Overflowed Object(s) Tool - This tool will display all the objects that are overflowed from a user ASP(s) into the system ASP.

• Example Communications Configurations - Provides a display interface which allows you to create example configuration objects (lines, controllers, devices, modes) for particular communications configurations (multipoint SDLC line with attached remote controller, pass-through over switched dial-in SDLC, and so on).

• Generating Binding Source Language Method for generating the binding source language given a module as input. The way to identify what are the allowable exports from a service program is through a binding source language.

• MAKE Utility - The MAKE tool helps you to maintain the relationships and dependencies between parts in a application. The MAKE tool can also be used to maintain process procedures such as printing files.

• NetServer (GO NETS) Tool - Provides commands which allow you to configure the iSeries NetServer, work with file and print shares, and view this information.

• Package/Unpackage of QUSRTOOL Files - This tool provides a method of converting save files to source physical files and converting source physical files to save files. This tool is needed before any tools within QUSRTOOL can be compiled or used.
