  Modified files:
    .                    capture.c tethereal.c 
  Log:
  On Win32, if the attempt to open the capture device fails, don't talk
  about checking permissions, as the capture devices are probably
  available to all users, and talking about permissions will only confuse
  the user.  Do, however, warn that Ethereal can't capture on Token Ring
  or PPP/WAN interfaces.
  
  On UNIX, if the attempt to open the capture device fails, and the error
  message starts with "can't find PPA for ", they are probably running on
  HP-UX with a version of libpcap not patched to properly look up PPAs for
  network interfaces given the interface name; give them a detailed
  warning about this, telling them that they'll have to fix libpcap and
  build Ethereal from source, and pointing them at the "README.hpux" file.
