A very simple and basic performance test, that can be used on any file sharing 
network for PC (NT, Netware, Win9x, and other).
The program runs on a Win9x workstation, and simply times save and read file operations.
The results are far from being scientific, but can be used as a "first impression"...
No need to set up a responder or special server program.

TSLOGGER.CMD ver 1.1 -
For Windows 2000 Terminal Server administrators.
This is a batch file that can be used to log client connections to a Terminal Server.

TSLOGGER.CMD : Administrators=FC, Users=Read Only.
