Probably not, unless the OS/390 folks have been helpful and chosen a
capture file format that we already support.

If a capture file format isn't listed in the man page, for example, you
should assume that we probably can't read it.

Without either

	1) a description of a capture file format

or

	2) enough capture files *plus* textual descriptions of the data
	   in each file to let us reverse-engineer it

we wouldn't be able to add support to Ethereal for it, either.
