1°) Compiling under Windows 2000 i have the following error message :

Having a look to the mail archive this problem was already posted on march 2002 ...
did  "Corpse" <ip-corpse@xxxxxxx> solve his problem or some else ?
 
2°) Is there a "usual" size limitation for capture file (.cap) ?
Huge file (for example 500Mo) seems to stucks ethereal .
I didn't see in the wish list the ability to read big file (no need to split it then) , am i right ?
 
Thank U for help.
