The list of file formats supported by Wireshark can be found at

        http://wiki.wireshark.org/FileFormatReference

It doesn't explicitly list Acterna's format; unless it uses one of the 
formats listed there, Wireshark can't read it.

In order to enhance Wireshark to read a file format that it currently 
doesn't read, somebody would need to write additional code to read that 
file format.  This would require the author of that code to know what 
the file format is.

If Acterna has documented the format, and you have that documentation, 
we could use that to write the code to read those files.  We would need 
some capture files to test it.

If they have *not* documented the format, we would have to 
"reverse-engineer" the format.  As Luis Ontanon indicated, that would 
require that we have capture files - we'd probably want more than one 
file, so that we can look for patterns in the file format - as well as 
decoded versions of those files giving time stamps, packet content, etc. 
for the packets in those files.
