Japp and Chris Thank you for the reply.
I really understand that you must follow the code standards or you will have problems down the road. I also understand that the core developers don't have much free time. My next question is: If the code is that bad...will they help me out or will the core developers through it away..?? Just wondering how lenient they are. I am a java developer learning C. My custom dissector works very well and the clients are indeed happy with it. I did go through the wireshark README.dev file the best that I could to my current knowledge...but I will not lie to you and say that there were some things that I did not understand 100%. But any help that the developers can give me is and would be greatly appreciated..!! My company would love to have our dissector a part of the Wireshark distribution..!!
