I tried to make a replacement for the excel portion of the
instructions.  The output format is very close...

I pre-wrapped it to make it readable, but it should all be one line.

./tethereal -G 
  | sed -e 's/\&/\&amp/g' 
        -e 's/</\&lt/g' 
        -e 's/>/\&gt/g' 
  | awk 'BEGIN{ID=0}
         {if ($1=="P")
           {ID=ID+1;
           split($0,fields,"\t");
           print ID "\t" $0 "\t" fields[3]} 
         else 
           {print ID "\t" $0}}'
  | sed -e 's/\t[PF]\t/\t/' 
  > almost.ethereal-G-sortedXLS-escaped.txt

I think that this basically does everything except step 14.
Can anybody fill in the final missing bits to make it work?

Basically, there's one final processing step, and then just run the perl
script...
