Hi all,

I'm very new to Ethereal and I'm interested in developing plugins for =
it.

I'm interested in using Ethereal for producing output in different =
formats (other than standard Ethereal GUI format) to make it easier for =
the user to extract information from the packet data.

In the developer help pages there's a section (9.4) about how to =
add/extend dialogs. However there's no useful information in the =
section.

Is it possible to develop plugins for Ethereal that create and display =
new dialogs to the user? Or are the plugins limited to extracting new =
protocol information from the data?

If it is possible to develop new dialogs, are there some some resources =
that I could be pointed to for reference?

I've got to get this information to my supervisors ASAP, so a fast reply =
would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Joshua Broadway.
