Hi Ulf,

Thanks for taking the time to look at it. I'm sorry to report that your
additional changes aren't working out. Here's why.

1. You've added the option of an open interval by prefixing the record
interval by an optional dash. editcap won't grok this:
-----8<-----
jaap@host:~/capture$ editcap test.cap to10.cap -10
editcap: invalid option -- 1
....
-----8<-----

2. You've added extra spaces before the example command lines. That's what
the '=over 4' tag is for. That defines the indentation the formatter uses.
If you find 4 too deep change it into 2 and let the formatter do its job.
Just to keep in style with the rest of the document I opted for 4.

Thanx,
Jaap
