I'm new to Ethereal, but I absolutely love it so far.  It's a truly 
amazing program.  (Just had to say that.)

I'm a hardware designer and Python programmer working on a product 
which sends and receives gigabit UDP packets.  To ease the difficulty 
of my debug, I would like to customize my copy of Ethereal so that it 
breaks down the UDP data and shows me what it means.  I see that 
Ethereal already does this with hundreds of different protocols, but 
I didn't see where in the documentation it says how to add another 
one.

Can anyone point me to some text or an example of how this is done?

Thanks in advance!

Gre7g.
