In addition, their default format appears to be Sniffer format (at least 
from what the help file says; I'm somewhat surprised that the help file 
was a Windows-format text file, i.e. ASCII with CR/LF at the ends of 
lines, rather than some variable-length record thing in EBCDIC, as I 
assume it's a help file for z/OS); Ethereal should also be able to read 
those (if not, that's a bug, and should get fixed if possible).
