Verbose flag: I don't know. I chose not to, thinking that unexpected
behavior is bad; i.e., the use requests one behavior (unknowingly) and
gets another. It's unimportant to me... if we think -V should be forced
with -Tpdml, then fine.

You're right; ethereal *can* print a packet summary in postscript. I
wasn't aware of that. I'll make a fix for "-Tps". thanks,
