I have some preliminary code to add tabbed pages to the
hex dump. I need this to display data that is compressed
during transmission and is decompressed by the dissector.
The code works but has some problems that I have to work
through. I started an email yesterday to describe the
system so others can review it. I will try to send the
email out today.
Just hang on... help is on the way.
