Every Ethereal user appreciates all the effort that has gone into Ethereal.
You, Guy, are appreciated by every user on the Ethereal-users list.  You
answer every question with verbose and complete explanations.  I am not
suggesting they are smarter or that they do anything better since they are
paid for their work.  It is just different.

If the day ever comes when the save as code is there and you do need someone
to test it, I certainly can.  If it never comes, that is OK too.  

Thanks again for everyone's effort!

Joe

Well, then, if "WAN", as they're using it, has nothing to do with Wide
Area Networks, and those are just Ethernet captures, I guess it's just a
question of somebody having the time and energy to try adding support
for writing that format (I don't - even if it's just cut, paste, and
modify, there's also the "test" stage, and I don't have a Sniffer handy
to read them, and don't have the time and energy for teledebugging with
somebody who does).

Well, perhaps they're either smarter than us, or have more time to spend
looking at the problem and implementing something (they're paid to do
that, most of us aren't).
