Hi List!

The "commonly accepted" file extension for libpcap files seems to be .pcap now. This is one of the file extensions that the windows installer registers.

As Ethereal can read gzipped files "on the fly", is there a commonly used file name extension for this, which the installer should register too?

When I remember correct, I've seen .pcaz in the past sometimes. Or should .pcap be used for these files too?
