Hi,

The doc directory contains a presentation by Richard Sharp about Ethereal:
ethereal-tut.mgp. There are a few problems with it:
* Written almost 6 years ago, some of the information is outdated.
* The referenced images are missing, so the presentation won't run.

The question is: do we remove it or rework it to a fully functional
up to date presentation?
Hmmm, seems there's no viewer for win32 at all, limiting the user base of the presentation ... 

I tried to open it using my debain box and got a fatal syntax error ...

So in the end I just can't even look into it.
While an official Ethereal presentation might be a good idea, I have doubts that MagicPoint is the way to go (maybe OpenOffice?) ...
So we might simply want to throw it away, as outdated information usually is more irritating than helpful. 

What does Richard himself think about it?
