I have a version of the ethereal code which compiles to a static library undeer MSVC7. When I try to link this with an application, I get the error:
ethereal_d.lib(ftype-double.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __HUGE
Looking at the file ftype-double.c, the only reference to HUGE is in the line: 


          else if (fv->value.floating == HUGE_VAL) {

              logfunc("\"%s\" causes floating-point overflow.", s);

I don't know about the specific HUGE problem.
But it's known that Ethereal won't compile on MSVC7 for conflicting MSVCRT.DLL reasons.
