Hi!

I'm working on a plugin for ethereal 0.9.3 and I realized that using that
binary simply with ethereal 0.9.13 is not possible. It's because I'm using 
packet_info and it's fields srcport and destport. But it seems that the
structure packet_info has changed so that these fields are on a different
offset.

Is there any way how to address these fields so that it is more compatible
(more clean)? I.e. using some function?

Was ethereal designed in a such way that it is possible to make a plugin
binary-compatible over (certain) ethereal versions?

Thanks,

	Tomas
