You could look in doc/README.developer and README.tvbuff. There is a dissector sample included. With this info it should be possible, to generate a working dissector. But i have to admit, there are many questions unanswered, so a faq would be nice. What about a wiki for ethereal developers? The odds are good, that i could host one. BTW, i did a java rmi dissector, which is mostly done. Whom should i send it? To this list? Or to Gerald? Cheers, -Michael
