Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] New menu items to copy packet data

["Douglas Pratley" <Douglas.pratley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I've attached the text as well.

I must have done something odd with tar and gzip (you can probably tell
that I'm more familiar with Windows than UNIX tools). Will be more
cautious next time...

Cheers

Doug

I got the images but not the patch this time ;).  The documentation 
patch file is just a tar of the images again.  Go ahead and send the 
documentation patch within an e-mail's body.


Thanks,
