I did take a closer look at the PDML options to tethereal, and this is
closer to what I need. However, the output is still 15X larger than the
binary capture file (expected, of course) and 3X larger than the plain
text export (this is the problem). I need something that's 50% (or less)
the size of the text output. The only way I can think of doing this is
to have tethereal/ethereal not emit data that I'm not interested in. I'm
still looking to see if there is a way to do this or if I need to code
something.

Many Thanks,

Allan
