How hard would be to implement filtering based on user's filters ?
<br>For instance, I have set
<br><font color="#3366FF">filter1</font> defined as "<font color="#3366FF">arp
or icmp or bootp</font>"
<br><font color="#3366FF">filter2</font> defined as "<font color="#3366FF">hsrp
or cdp or stp</font>"
<br>in the display filters tab, and I want to enter the following filter:
<br><font color="#FF0000">filter1 and not filter2 and not llc</font>
<br>If I try this, ethereal gives me "Unable to parse filter string ..."
which is correct because it does not try the user defined filters.
<p>Thanks.

Umm, you're sending HTML....

It shouldn't be too hard. I'm working on some major changes to the display filter
code right now; I'll try to work in that change.
