thanks for clearing that up.

OK, so now I have all the code from the OFI tutorial in a 'pingpong.c' 
file.  Is that useful to the project?   Goodell mentioned to me some of 
the code in the tutorial had not kept up with libfabric changes.

fabtests already has a pingpong, and it doesn't seem like something that 
needs to be part of .  Does the tutorial live in github somewhere?  I'd 
like to contribute pingpong.c but I'm not sure where it should go.
