Alas, je ne parle pas fran�ais, ainsi je r�pondrai � ceci en anglais.

(I had Babelfish translate that from English to French; it's probably as
badly fractured French as the English the Babelfish generates - it
translated your message as

	I come from telecharger your software ETHEREAL as well as the
	necessary package of bookshops A his correct operation under
	win32.Malgres that, by lancant the appliquation, it arrete by me
	announcing itself that it misses the DLL: Packet.dll.  what is
	true!! or then I to find it, or that it error I made.  Thank you
	for your answer and your assistance

so I can imagine how absurd its French translation of "Alas, I don't
speak French, so I'll answer this in English." above might sound to
someone who knows French.

The Babelfish *did* manage to translate

	I have downloaded your Ethereal package.

to

	J'ai t�l�charg� votre module �th�r�.

so it *does* understand "t�l�charg�r" - perhaps the fact that the
accents were missing in the letters in your message kept it from
translating it properly.  Obviously, it thought "Ethereal" was an
adjective, not a proper noun....)

You need the WinPcap package; see

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/

If you have already installed that, you may have to arrange that your
path include the directory in which it installed "Packet.dll"; I'm
currently running FreeBSD on my machine, so I'll have to check on my NT
partition to see what would be involved there.

(And now for the Babelfish's translation of that into French:

Vous avez besoin du module de WinPcap; voyez

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/

Si vous avez d�j� install� cela, vous pouvez devoir arranger que votre
voie d'acc�s incluent le r�pertoire dans lequel elle a install�
"Packet.dll"; J'ex�cute actuel FreeBSD sur ma machine, ainsi je devrai
v�rifier ma cloison de NT pour voir ce qui serait impliqu� l�.
