See that "C:\" that tells you it's Windows or DOS?

                [-r count] [-s count] [[-j host-list] | [-k host-list]]
                [-w timeout] destination-list
    
    Options:
        -t             Ping the specified host until stopped.

MS ping is *not* command-line compatible with UNIX ping.  Once you give it
the right options, however, it does handle 32-bit integer addresses in the
same fashion as the BSD networking code.
