Just an initial one line header for the print output.  For example:
Etherreal version 0.92, summary print captured on 01/01/03 13:41:01.01

What about my previous question:

Is there an available application or script which can take a binary capture
file as input and generate a custom summary text file output?
============
BTW.  I do statistical calculations for various types of capture text
formats that currently include sniffer, LANWatch, and Ethereal.  It is
impossible to obtain data that was not provided for analysis.  I'm just
looking for ways to make it easier!-)
