	Time for some nitty gritty details. 
okay. I'm using Sniffer Pro, version 4.0.12 . (I think it is near the
latest version, at least it better be, I just bought it). 
Within Sniffer pro when you open a file, you can choose the file type 
and the types are:
Sniffer Files (cap,caz,enc,trc,fdc,tr1)
Sniffer WAN Files (cap,caz,syc,hic)
Sniffer ATM Files (cap,caz,atc)
History Files (hst)
All Files 

So after trying several different extensions I found that using 
ngsniffer, and renaming the extension to .ENC, everything seems to 
work just fine. 

	Thanks for the help everyone.
