Hi,
Thank you for the response. I used the below command.
c:> editcap C:\SSSimple.tla mylibcp.libcap
I'm getting error telling:
"editcap: Can't open SSSimple.tla file : The file is
not the Capture file in the known format".
Let me explain about my file "SSSimple.tla". This is
a file which is captured by a Tektronix Logic Analyzer.
This file format has many other information about the GUI
display on the Logic Analyzer. Apart from this it has
packet information acquired from a Ethernet port. So its
not a capture file as expected by Editcap.
Actually .tla file is our proprietary file format.
How can I convert such file into libcap or whatever Ethereal
understands?. Please help.
Thank You,
Sachin

Well, one way of doing that would be to make the "editcap" utility,
which comes with Ethereal, convert your file format.
However, the way you do that is to make Ethereal support your file
format, as "editcap" and Ethereal use the same library to read files;
the library is in the "wiretap" subdirectory of the Ethereal source.
