Hello,
I want to make the ethereal to understand the new format file and write the decode routine for that.In wiretap directory I have written the routines to 'read' and 'seek and read' routines for reading the new format.The routines are working and reading the file.

The problems are,
1> The hexdump it is displaying is the unknown hexdump alon with the data bytes in the file read.
2> I want to know how to make ethereal to understand this without the proper encapsulation type.
3> I want to know what is exactly the meaning of 'per-packet-encapsulation'
4>I want to display the contents of the file read in the summary pane
How to call the routines in column-utils.c like col_set_str with supplying the proper parameters.

If anybody please give me some guidence regarding this.
    Regards
