I dont know what overlap there might be.
My version is just really the same thing as tethereal -z io,users,... does
but just presented as
a clist that can be sordet by column.
I plan to enhance it to allow you to select one "conversation" and tell the
main window in ethereal to apply a displayfilter that only matches the
selected "conversation".
I appologize if my ignoranze of Greg's patch mistakenly thought his patch
was also just a tethereal -z io,users, clist.
One thing in the first patch i was not comfortable with was that it accessed
wiretap directly and is thus exposed to
the cap file encapsulation and the link layers instead of using the tap
system.
I will look into his patch and see what i missed in my ignorance.
If they provide different featuresets, lets just get both of them in, the
more the merrier.
what additional features than just a gui version of -z io,users,... does
Greg's patch provide?
best regards
ronnie sahlberg
