OK, if I don't get any more replies I'll try there.

It turns out that is just a script that calls omiidl, which is what
I was doing. It has made me realise I'm not calling it quite correctly.
So I now generate the .c file using :-

omniidl -p c:\wireshark-0.99.3a\tools -b wireshark_be q_quentinv3.idl > 
packet-quentinv3.c

But I still get the problem.

Thanks for the help. Any more ideas anyone?
