Ethereal-dev: RE: [ethereal-dev] Any objection to #if 0-ing out the Edit->{Cut, Copy,Paste} me
FYI for whoever decides to implement this, particularly on Windows....
I have some information on the clipboard formats used by Microsoft Network
Monitor when you cut and paste packets within it. With this information it
should be possible to make Ethereal compatible, such that you could cut a
packet out of a NETMON capture, and paste it into the Windows version of
Ethereal. Might be handy for folks who are migrating from NETMON to
Ethereal. (I'm assuming that's the only direction someone would want to
migrate....<grin>).
Whoever takes this up, just ping me and I'll send you the info.
