they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on
Windows, not on UN*X.

binaries, so users only need to make sure they have that version
installed in order to have Ethereal (and tcpdump, and snort, and so on)
accept "lanN"-style names (i.e., names of the sort reported by lanscan
and handled by ifconfig), rather than "dlpiN".
Get rid of the patches to update libpcap, get rid of the discussion in
"README.hpux" of patching libpcap and just say "get 0.6.2", and make the
notes on HP-UX kernel patches to fix problems with capturing outgoing
packets a separate item in the list of items in "README.hpux".
Also update the error messages Ethereal and Tethereal display if they
can't open a device and the error is "can't find PPA for XXX" to say
"get 0.6.2" rather than "patch libpcap and recompile.

Porting and Archive Centre site.
Warn in the very beginning of that file that libpcap may not work very
well without patches. Give patches to libpcap for:
vanilla LBL libpcap 0.4
vanilla tcpdump.org libpcap 0.5
libpcap 0.4 from the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre (which is
the only version that includes configure-script changes to work
with HP's C compiler as well as GCC)
and put them in files separate from "README.hpux" (to make it easier for
users to apply the patches).
Make those versions of the patch give a slightly different error message
if libpcap fails to find the PPA for the device, to make it easier to
figure out if the user reporting a problem with HP-UX capture has a
patched version of libpcap or not (so that we know whether the problem
may just be that they're using an unmodified libpcap, or if they're
running a patched version and that patch needs more work, e.g. to look
at devices other than just "/dev/dlpi").
Give information on how to find "patch", warn that probably only the
HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre version will work with the HP C
compiler, warn that applying a version of the patch other than the one
for the particular version of libpcap you've downloaded will probably
not work, and warn that you need to download source to libpcap in order
to do any of this in the first place.
(The current libpcap CVS tree at tcpdump.org has this patch in it, so
the next release of libpcap from tcpdump.org should have it; hopefully
the HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre will switch to that version when it
comes out, and people will just be able to push a few buttons to get an
Ethereal that works on HP-UX.)

and 9.x, "libpcap-0.4" should, in theory, do the right thing; stuff may
be different on HP-UX 11.x, and "libpcap-0.4" may not do the right
thing, obliging you to use "dlpiN" devices in Ethereal.

Archive Centre for HP-UX, who have (perhaps not the latest version of)
Ethereal in their archives, and the HP-UX C compiler options they used
when building their version.
Also note in the "README.hpux" file that there are, in the "INSTALL"
file for "libpcap", several comments about HP-UX that should be read if
you're going to use Ethereal with "libpcap" to capture packets.
