A Question regarding the following thread:
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200309/msg00479.html
>>Hi,
>>I am writing a plugin DLL under Windows and would like to know if anyone has
>>a good method for debugging plugins.
>>I compile my DLL and copy it to the c:\program files\ethereal\plugins\0.9.15
>>directory (which seems to be the only place that Ethereal looks for
>>plugins). I can debug the Ethereal code OK, but MSVC++ can't find the plugin
>>sources. I have tried adding the source directory in the options dialog,
>>with no improvement.
>>Regards,
>>Chris Waters

Could anyone post such a demo workspace for a plugin dll
