First, let me say that I've found Ethereal to be really great, and I apologise for having so many questions related to the NT build!  I love the way it was so easy to write new dissectors from the template!

Now, I have yet another question about building on NT.  I went into packaging/nsis and ran "make -f Makefile.nmake" and got:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.62.7022
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1997. All rights reserved.

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make '../../doc/ethereal.html'
Stop.

I note that under Solaris, I can't make HTML documentation, and there isn't even a Makefile.nmake in the doc directory.  Out of sheer laziness I'll not be putting documentation into my installer, but I just wanted to ask why this is so.

Other than that, making the NSIS installer went quite well, except that I also had to remove references to the HTML files from ethereal.nsi.in and also had to add SectionEnd commands to the same file (I guess I have a new version of NSIS - 1.4 beta 2).

Thanks,
David
