As far as I can tell, there is no way at the moment to save the raw contents
of a TCP stream.  If you save it as ASCII, linebreaks get added, which
corrupts binary data.  I would like to have an option to save the TCP stream
with no formatting whatsoever.

This should be easy to do, but the devil is in the UI.  My suggestion would
