Hi,

I am beginning to think about the SMB dissector rewrite ...

I will generate it, which means enhancing my generator Perl script. The things I want to achieve are:

1. Accuracy, based on the current SNIA document.
2. Unicode handling
3. Place reasonable things in the summary, like Open \\server\share\dir1\file.txt and Read block=xyz ... 4. Fit within the current framework of updates that Ronnie and Guy have developed so we leverage the work already done.

I will release the generator as well, despite the fact that it is a HoS.
