[254 lines of irrelevant quoting removed]

Please try tshark (or tethereal), the text version of Wireshark, e.g.
tshark -V -r capture.pcap

As you may have read in the message that you needlessly quoted, Ethereal
is now wireshark and development as well as support continues at that
site (http://www.wireshark.org/). Please send future help requests to
wireshark-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Those mailing lists are also much better
protected against spam mail.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
