Hi Chris! I've just compiled doc/README.heuristic, containing my intro text and your code snippet - plus a little bit of editing. @all: Feel free to have a look and send improvements ... or even better patches ;-) Hope this helps, Regards, ULFL _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] https://wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
