Hi,
   I have new plugin for ethereal. A patch to ethereal-0.9.15
is rather big and therefore not attached. Available on my web page:

 http://www.xs4all.nl/~mmelchio/asn1/

This patch will add a plugin to ethereal to decode BER encoded
ASN.1 messages. It expects the type-table output from 'snacc',
an ASN.1 compiler, as its input for message definition. Than
it will nicely dissect a stream of udp or tcp messages of that
type.

See the Readme.ethereal.asn1 file to get going.


This plugin is of prototype quality, and I know of several problems.
However it fulfills my purpose nicely now and I offer this for
inclusion in ethereal so more people can use it.
As of 5 min ago, I have replaced the 'ethereal-asn1.patch.gz' file
with a version that contains at least 1 bug less, and a file I
had forgotten in the first one.

Thanks.
