Ahh. An awk guru. Thanks for that, it is much better.

I found that C didn't resolve names, whereas the original did, and didn't
cause problems. Caveat Emptor.

The vlan capture sample shows about the biggest node set you might find
useful, and the reasons why: http://www.ethereal.com/sample/vlan.cap.gz
I've just installed the script on my W2k system here and it works fine,
except that I have to tell it where to find tethereal, which in the Windows
world isn't on the PATH.
So either add the ethereal directory to the path, or make the above line
start like this:
"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Ethereal/tethereal" -r $ipf ...
(the c is the drive letter)
Similarly, if you have Ghostview installed you'll have to do something
similar if you want to use the -d option.
