Guy Harris e28c8a0c82 Repeatedly indicate that "-w" is for writing binary packet data, and
that if you want to send text to a file, just redirect the standard
output.  I've seen at least one message on the Ethereal lists from
somebody who didn't realize that, and I think I've seen more.

Ulf Lamping 4443681a9e fix Ethereal so command line capture parameter will work with kilobytes (again)
remove Byte(s) from the dropdown list of filesizes, this doesn't make sense
replace 1000 with 1024, as all (modern?) file managers are based on 1024 bytes for a kilobyte (the old KB vs. KiB controversy)

Guy Harris 8b334b9148 Make it a bit clearer that what "-w" writes is raw binary packet data,
not the result of dissecting that data.

Note that "-F" applies to the output of "-w", that "-S" says "dissect
and print even if you're doing '-w'", and that "-T" applies to the
dissected output, not the "-w" output.

Guy Harris 3d5b1d5f13 From Graeme Hewson: rename the global preferences file to "preferences"
(it's now in an "ethereal" directory, so there's no need for it to have
a name that distinguishes it from files for other programs) - if it's
not found as "preferences", try "ethereal.conf" for compatibility - and
update the man pages appropriately.

Fix a typo in the section color filters (the file name is "colorfilters",
not "color filters").

Guy Harris 61faabddcd Update the man page to indicate that "-q", when capturing without "-w",
suppresses the printing of packet information.

Guy Harris 07658bc75c Disallow "-f" when not doing a live capture, rather than just ignoring
the specified filter.

Note in the manual that you can't use capture filters when reading a
capture file, and that read filters might require too much CPU when
doing a live capture.

Guy Harris 4556f3b88e Document "-T psml", and give more details in the descriptiion of the
"-T" option.

Talk about packet details rather than the protocol tree, just as we do in
the Ethereal manual page.

Clean up the descriptions of some of the "-z" options.

Fix some typos.

Guy Harris 0d1fb8c108 Make "-q" suppress packet printing when you're reading a capture file
and not writing to another capture file, for use with "-z" options.

Note that "-z proto" *doesn't* print statistics at the end - it modifies
the packet summary output.

Note that on at least some BSDs the "status" character is set to "off"
by default, so you have to set it explicitly in order to be able to ^T
an application such as Tethereal.

Guy Harris a98aa75a58 WildPackets' EtherHelp appears to write EtherPeek-compatible files,
except that the 0x80 bit is turned on in the file version number field.
Turn that bit off before processing that field.

Gilbert Ramirez c7cee4331f -Tpdml and -Tps force -V. Thus, -V is no longer required when using -Tpdml.
Eventually, -Tps will not force -V, and will print summaries when -V is
not selected. However, work still has to be done there.

Gilbert Ramirez 058ef64db8 Add the ability to print packet dissections in PDML (an XML-based format)
to tethereal. It could be added to Ethereal, but the GUI changes to
allow the user to select PDML as a print format have not been added.

Provide a python module (EtherealXML.py) to help parse PDML.

Provide a sample app (msnchat) which uses tethereal and EtherealXML.py
to reconstruct MSN Chat sessions from packet capture files. It produces
a nice HTML report of the chat sessions.

Document tethereal's PDML and EtherealXML.py usage in doc/README.xml-output

Update tethereal's manpage to reflect the new [-T pdml|ps|text] option
