Gilbert Ramirez 558e714449 Add a module to wiretap to be able to read trace files from Toshiba's
line of ISDN routers. Much like the ascend reader, this module reads an
ASCII hex dump of trace data.

Rearranged the order in which wiretap tries trace files, to keep the
ASCII-readers (ascend and toshiba) at the end, and put the binary-readers
(everything else) at the front of the list. If a telnet session of
and ascend trace or toshiba trace were captured near the beginning of
another trace, wiretap might think the trace was ascend or toshiba if it
tried that module first.

Fixed the way wtap_seek_read() selects functions to call. It was using
the encap type instead of the file type. We got lucky because
WTAP_ENCAP_ASCEND == WTAP_FILE_ASCEND

Gilbert Ramirez 57198bc28f Made handling of byte strings in scanner and parser much simpler,
improving size of grammar and creating the possibility of dfilter_compile
reporting errors back to user. In this case, if an ETHER variable is
compared against a byte string that is not 6 bytes, an error condition is
flagged appropriately. I have not put in the code to conver that error flag
to a message to the user, but that's what I'm working on next.

Also, fixed sample debug session in README to show correct gdb prompt.

Gilbert Ramirez 49388049d3 Made iptrace wiretap module return error on partial packets, instead of
expecting it as normal. Added paragraph about iptrace oddities to README.
I also added a section to the README about how to report bugs.

Gilbert Ramirez 904e195de4 Fixed match_selected to work with new display filter code. It uses
"frame[x:y]" in the display filte that it creates so that it works with
any datalink type.

Gilbert Ramirez 5a7e28ca46 Added the ability to create a read-only ethereal, i.e., one that
doesn't link with libpcap, so no packet captures can be made. The
"--disable-pcap" option has been added to the configure script. Docs
have been updated. And the string buffer size in the simple_dialog()
has been doubled so that Johan's e-mail address in the "About" dialogue
window doesn't get chopped off.

Gilbert Ramirez 07f42b5b31 Created a new protocol tree implementation and a new display filter
mechanism that is built into ethereal. Wiretap is now used to read all
file formats. Libpcap is used only for capturing.

Guy Harris aca6d29e7b Note that non-GNU "make"s appear not to be able to build Ethereal, and
that you need "flex" and either "bison" or Berkeley "yacc".  (XXX -
should notes such as this go in some other file, e.g. INSTALL?  I
discovered the "flex" and "bison"/byacc requirement on a Solaris 7
system, but it's probably a problem on other commercial UNIXes, as well,
so it probably doesn't belong in, say, "README.solaris".)

Gilbert Ramirez d5fab31737 Added a paragraph explaining that the SNMP decode in ethereal uses
either the UCD or CMU SNMP library. Also documented the fact that SNMP
support in ethereal can be disabled with the "--disable-snmp" option to
'configure'.

Gilbert Ramirez 2b86d46d70 Jun-ichiro's IPv6 patch is merged in with ethereal and now uses the new
proto*() functions. The configure script tries to use ipv6 name resolution if
it knows the type of ipv6 stack the user has (this can be avoided with the
--disable-ipv6 switch) Additionally, the configure script now deals with wiretap
better. If the user doesn't want to compile wiretap, the wiretap is never
visited. A few unnecessary #includes were removed from some wiretap files, and
a CPP macro was moved from bpf.c to wtap.h.

Gilbert Ramirez c0f191e9e0 I added the LANalzyer file format to wiretap. I cleaned up some code in the
wiretap functions to be more generic and therefore allow an easier integration
of more packet-capture file types. I also put in all the GPL copyrights in the
wiretap code.
