I'm a relatively new ethereal user, and am very impressed with what I've seen so far. I was attracted to ethereal by the prospect of writing a dissector (is that the right term?) to decode some proprietary protocols (over UDP) for my day job.

I did some digging around, but I haven't found anything that resembles a coherent document on writing dissectors. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
	Zandr
