Also note that its not generally possible to convert DCT2000 format files to
pcap format.
- there is often not a corresponding pcap encapsulation for DCT2000
protocols
- DCT2000 files can include an arbitrary mixture of protocols, whereas pcap
files (always?) have a single encapsulation type.  I can't remember exactly
what the restriction here is...

There is still some information in the file format that can't easily be
imported into Wireshark (e.g. error messages), and looking at your sample,
you would also need to skip lines that don't correspond to frames that have
a timestamp and frame data that can be fed info a wireshark dissector.
