Title: Enhancement
Folks:
I have prepared an enhancement to allow EBCDIC data to be viewed as ASCII in Ethereal, when you right click in the byte view pane and select EBCDIC from the resulting popup menu.
I wanted this feature, and saw requests for such a feature in some past discussions.
See: http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-users/200411/msg00273.html
However, I didn't find anything in the Ethereal wish list.
Commercial applications Sniffer and EtherPeek both have this feature.
As I have implemented this, a right mouse click in the byte view will show menu options ASCII or EBCDIC. Selecting EBCDIC will change the encoding flag for all frames to CHAR_EBCDIC, so that all byte view data is represented by translating from EBCDIC to ASCII. Selecting ASCII will change the encoding flag to CHAR_ASCII, which is the default view.
