Hi list,
Attached is a patch that implements FT_UINT64 in ethereal
for all platforms even those where 64bit scalar types are not available.
The patch applies ontop of my previous smb patch and shows how the
FT_UINT64 types can be used (only through proto_tree_add_item()).
The routines supports unsigned 64 bit integers either in decimal or
hex format.
There is very little error checking so if passed a non decimal/non hex
string I would not be surprised if ethereal dumped core.
Apart from that it works quite well.
I have successfully tested it with the smb dissector using both decimal and
hex format for the protocol fields.
I also tested it for display filters and it seemed ok. (as long
as i only typed in semantically correct displayfilters)
have fun.

Hats off to those that designed and implemented the ftypes framework,
extremely clean and easy to use framework. well done.
