Hi,
the update depends on the motivation of each contributor :) I might be able to
work a bit on it in the coming weeks, but I cannot make any promise.
If you want to do the update yourself, you will see that it is rather easy.
The developer guide (found here:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ ) explains how to setup your
development environment.
The doc folder in the source tree contains some valuable information on how to
develop a dissector. I recommend you to read doc/README.developer and
doc/README.dissector as a starting point.
The ANSI A dissector source code can be found here:
epan/dissectors\packet-ansi_a.c. As it is an old dissector, it has a massive
use of proto_tree_add_text that should be avoided for any enhancement (as
stated in README.dissector).
