The frame relay dissector registers itself as "fr", so a handle for the 
dissector can be gotten with a

	find_dissector("fr")

call in proto_reg_handoff_atm().

In "dissect_reassembled_pdu()", the switch statement should check for 
TRAF_FR and call call_dissector() with that handle.

If you get that working (it should just work if it's just a regular 
frame relay packet encapsulated in an AAL5 packet), send us the changes 
so we can put it into the release.

If you have a frame relay-over-ATM capture that it's OK to make public 
(no private data, private IP addresses, etc.), you might want to send us 
that, as well, so we can use it for testing to make sure we don't break 
any of the dissectors involved in the future.

Well, one way would be to create what, if I remember correctly, is 
called a "Makefile project", or something such as that, using the 
existing Ethereal top-level Makefile.nmake.

If you want a "real" project, you might have to do it by hand; I don't 
know whether there are any tools that can generate the project files 
automatically.
