At http://www.ethereal.com/lists/, right under "Subscribing and unsubscribing",
you've got the archives. I usually search into them at google, though.

I don't think you need to do anything special. However:
as far as I understand, MSVC6 will use the dlls it finds looking at its path. This
means that, if you build ethereal normally -which will put libethereal.dll in ..\epan-
and your path does not look there, and you have an older -usually a stable- version of
ethereal installed, and the libethereal.dll of ethereal is somewhere MSVC can find,
like under system32, it will use that dll but show you the source files in your project,
which will give you completely wrong lines when debugging. I usually get around that
by hand-copying libethereal.dll in the root directory of the project. I've never debugged
plugins, but I guess you might have a similar problem.
