Good morning everybody,

I�m just working to develop a PROFIBUS analyser and I want to use Ethereal with a new dissector for the PROFIBUS protocol. I�ve redden the file README.Developer to have an idea of how I can create a dissector but It�s very difficult for me to understand this file (as more as it�s writing in English). So, I ask if someone can send me an example of a dissector for another protocol and if it�s possible give me advice on how I can develop the PROFIBUS dissector (by steps). Does a french document like README.Developer exist ? Moreover, could someone give me an idea of the time I need to develop a new dissector on Visual C++ 6.

Then, I want to display a signal on the screen through Ethereal (in a new window) and display a �View List� (list of all equipments present on the bus). Can I do this ? Can I add new elements on the Existed menu of Ethereal ? Where is the interface (resources) of the Ethereal software ? How can I build Ethereal from the project .dsw on Visual 6 ?

Thanks in advance
Cordially
