Dear Guy,

thank you very much for the help. It really does what I want.

Best regards
Michael

That call says that there's a field, at an offset of CHECKSUM_OFFSET in
the tvbuff "tvb", with a length of CHECKSUM_LENGTH. amd that it's
big-endian if "checksum_correct" is false and little-endian if
"checksum_correct" is true.

If, in fact, you want to have the value come from a variable, rather
than from the tvbuff, you want to do

	proto_tree_add_boolean(sctp_tree, hf_sctp_checksum_correct, tvb,
	    CHECKSUM_OFFSET, CHECKSUM_LENGTH, checksum_correct);
