Both approaches (I believe) would separate "Capture Files" from "Capture 
Limits"... I think Biot's comments was just the "Capture Files" section. 
 After looking at the merged version, I see there was already a maximum 
number of files in the capture limits section.  How about something like 
the following?  (I'm unsure if the details of a ring buffer should be in 
a tool tip or if there should be extra info in parenthesis following it)


---Capture file(s)---------------------------------------------
File: ___________________ Browse
O Write to multiple capture files
 O Next capture file every 1000___ kilobyte(s)
 O Next capture file every 300____ second(s)
 O Maximum number of files 2______
  O Ring Buffer
---------------------------------------------------------------
---Capture limit(s)---------------------------------------------
O Stop capture after 1______ packet(s)
O Stop capture after 1______ kilobyte(s)
O Stop capture after 1______ second(s)
---------------------------------------------------------------
