I can open DOS based sniffer files with SnifferPro, these files have an
extension of ".enc" for ethernet capture.
however I am having some problems reading in files created with Olivier new
patches, this was after the first couple of captures were successful. i
should remember that 2 is not a large statistical sample.

Nope. As Olivier notes, we don't support saving in NetXRay-based
formats (which I think all the Windows-based Sniffers - Pro or Basic -
use), period; we read them (see "wiretap/netxray.c", but don't write
them).
I'd expect the Windows-based Sniffers to *read* Sniffer Classic files,
though. Perhaps it only reads certain versions of Sniffer Classic
files, and we're not putting into the file a version number it likes;
unfortunately, putting a version number it likes might result in the
files being unreadable by some versions of Sniffer Classic, as per
Olivier having to change the version number to make the Sniffer Classic
he has happy.
