>From the Ethereal source distribution:

	ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/ethereal/ethereal-0.8.19.tar.gz

or from the nightly CVS tarballs under

	ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/ethereal/nightly-builds/

(get the most recent tarball).

If by "the development directory" you meant

	ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/ethereal/win32/development/

that's a directory containing stuff specifically needed for Win32
development - the Ethereal source itself is needed for *any*
development, so it's not packaged up in anything under the
"ethereal/win32" directory.

You will need gzip and tar in order to unpack the source distribution or
the nightly tarballs - but you'll probably need Cygwin anyway to do
development, and it comes with gzip and tar, so you might as well
download it.

See

	ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/ethereal/win32/win32-README.txt

for information on development on Win32, including tools and libraries
that you'll need.
