Do you mean the lists of filter field filter names, display names, and
data types?

If so, given how many filter fields there are, I suspect few, if any,
people have.

As long as it was generated using Ethereal 0.8.19 with the "-G" flag,
and some selected sample of fields looks correct, I'd assume it's
correct.  If somebody reports a problem, we can go back and see whether
Ethereal is misreporting the field when run with "-G" (in which case the
man pages are probably also wrong) or the script is incorrectly handling
"ethereal -G" output in some cases.
