Title: Fragmented packets

Hi - Can you help me
        I'm using wireshard 0.99.3 to decode some SNMP messages for our application.
        I've set up the mib's so that wiresharks' SNMP protocol decoder can display the messages correctly in wiresharks own captures and is able to cope with fragmented packets by re-combining them.

        A 3rd party has captured some traffic using an unknown analyser and presented me with the trace in a '.dat' file

        The only problem is that some of the packets, due to the size of the message are fragmented, which the SNMP decoder cannot process.

        Is there any way of setting wireshark to re-combine the fragmented packets, or the SNMP decoder to process the fragmented packets, or does this have to be done 'at source' ?

best regards,
