I've been RTFM for several hours and trying all sorts of combinations of
switches,
but I staill can't figure out how to do the following:

Read a standard pcap file in and output a hexdump of the packets WITHOUT
the packet summary lines.

If I write out the tex file using "tethereal -r pcap.in -T text -x >
hex.out" and then go through and
delete all those summary lines, I am then able to reread that hexdump
file back in using
"text2pcap hex.out new_pcap.out".

I looked through the code and it appears to me that the "print_summary"
option used in GTK is
one of the very few that are not controlled using a 'preference option'.
This print_summary is
always hard-coded to true or false and can only get deselected via the
GTK window.

Is there some other way around this. Bascally I want the ability to move
back and forth between
binary pcap files and their hexdump equivalent.

Thanks

Kirk
